Patrick Leonard Wins PGT Kickoff Event #2 After Dramatic Final Table

The British poker pro claimed $124,800 and the top spot on the 2025 PokerGO Tour leaderboard with his victory in Las Vegas.

Patrick Leonard triumphed in the $5,100 No-Limit Hold'em Event #2 of the PGT Kickoff Series, taking home $124,800 and 250 PGT points.
The event drew 96 entrants, creating a $480,000 prize pool shared among the top 14 finishers, with Leonard overcoming a seven-handed final table as one of the shortest stacks.
A pivotal three-way all-in involving Leonard's pocket aces helped him secure a major chip lead, eliminating Chino Rheem and crippling Sam Laskowitz in the process.
Leonard defeated Aram Zobian in heads-up play, sealing the victory with a two-pair hand against Zobian's unsuccessful hero call with bottom pair.
This win, coupled with a final table appearance in Event #1, places Leonard at the top of the 2025 PGT leaderboard, as the series continues with three remaining events.
