partypoker Ambassador Patrick Leonard is not just one of the most talented online poker players in the world, he is also one of the most respected. He regularly posts on Twitter illuminating threads about the state of the online poker industry, and the poker industry in general, whilst also maintaining several high profile results including a $1.61 million score earlier this year.

PokerNews sat down with Leonard to discuss the World Poker Tour World Online Championships that are currently taking place on partypoker, with Leonard sharing his thoughts on the various changes that have been made to the festival ready for the online felt.

WPT Structures are Key

Leonard says that the production and content around the World Poker Tour always drew him in as a spectator, but admits that he has never really played much of the WPT circuit. However, when he discovered that the World Online Championships were coming, he says he was excited.

'It's all about replicating that quality experience but on my favourite site,' said Leonard, who says that lots of effort has gone into the structure of every events in order to maintain the prestige associated with the WPT.

'You really get a lot of play for your money in these Championships events; we wanted them to feel really special and unique. They're very prestigious events that everyone wants to win.

'We've been qualifying larger numbers of players than I've seen any site do for this kind of buy in, so the games have been really good. Obviously the real names make it feel more like a live tournament too.'

partypoker have also reduced the number of re-entries allowed, with single re-entries meaning that pros are not firing too many bullets in events.

Big Names Players & Big Name Commentators

Leonard is also a huge proponent of the cards-up coverage available on the partypoker Twitch channel.

'It means you can follow the action from an interactive point of view and the pros that have been and will be commentating the final tables such as Kristen Bicknell and Jamie Kerstetter are really great to listen to.'

partypoker have seen some well-known players flock to the site in recent months for tournaments like the Poker Masters Online and the Super High Roller Bowl Online, so what does Leonard think the site does to set themselves apart and be able to attract these big names?

'partypoker set the standard for all sites in terms of bringing the live arena to the online felt with the Irish Open. It was a really quality festival and people realised from there they could get a similar feeling to their favourite live tournaments.'

Looking Ahead to the Mix-Max Tournaments

Leonard says his favourite tournament of the festival so far was the 6-Max Championship. He cashed, but says he didn't go 'super deep.'

'I prefer playing shorter handed so Mix Max, 7-max, 6-max are always more appealing to me than 8-max. So I’ll be looking forward to playing the mix max tournaments coming up next week too. I'm very happy that partypoker basically never does nine-handed tournaments as I believe they should be retired!'

Event #4: $3,200 Mix-Max Championship comes with a $3,000,000 guarantee. Day 1 ends at the end of Level 18, with levels 25 minutes in length.

• Day 1a - Saturday, August 8th at 19:00 (BST)
• Day 1b - Sunday, August 9th at 19:00 (BST)
• Day 2 - Monday, August 10th at 19:00 (BST)
• Day 3 - Tuesday, August 11th at 19:00 (BST)

This event also has a Mini ($320 buy-in; $1,000,000 GTD) and Micro ($33, $300,000 GTD) edition making the WPT WOC accessible to players of any bankroll!

Pursuing WPT Success

The prestige is not lost on Leonard in his pursuit of even more poker accolades.

'Winning a Championship Event would definitely feel prestigious,' he said. 'It's a field full of players from $1 satellite qualifiers to the best players in the world, so to win you have to adapt and adjust vs all different player types. You have to be able to play against fields like that, not just being able to play against top pros. To me that's what makes a great poker player.'

Patrick Leonard got his hands on the largest score of his long and illustrious poker career on May 17 when he finished second in the WSOPC Ring Event #8: HR Championship event at GGPoker.

WSOPC Ring Event #8: HR Championship Final Table

Leonard was one of 505 players who bought in for $25,000, a field that ensure the $10 million guarantee was smashed by $2,372,500.

The top 72 finishers won a slice of this huge pie, so spare a thought for “avr0ra” who fell in 72nd place and burst the money bubble.

Players from the UK and Ireland who cashed in this massive event included “patrickI”, “pDNA”, “grabben123” and “Golden snitch”, the latter falling in 10th place for $138,153.

“Sub_Zero” busted in ninth place when their pocket nines lost to Leonard’s ace-three courtesy of two aces on the board. Eighth-place and $249,919 went to Brazil’s “gaufreancienne” who ran their pocket queens into the aces of “HotPot44”.

“AlwaysWithNuts” didn’t live up their alias as they crashed out in seventh-place for $340,956. They three-bet shoved with eight-seven and lost to the king-ten of HotPot44.

Almost half a million dollars, $465,154 to be exact, went to “mm1993” when their pocket fours lost to the eights in the hand of “800-522-4700”. The player with a phone number for a name then sent “M0therLover” to the showers in fifth-place courtesy of their ace-king holding against their opponents’ dominated king-queen. Fifth-place weighed in at $634,592.

Canada’s “BlackPhillip” became 800-522-4700’s latest victim when their queen-jack fell foul to ace-queen. This won the Canadian $865,750 and guaranteed a seven-figure score for the three surviving players.

The first of those ridiculous prizes, $1,181,109, went to HotPot44. HotPot44 shoved for around 17 big blinds with what turned out to be eight-six suited and Leonard looked them up with ace-nine. The five community cards provided no help to HotPot44 and they collected third-place money.

Heads-up saw 800-522-4700 enjoy a two-to-one chip lead and the gap was ultimately too much for Leonard to bridge.

The final hand saw 800-522-4700 limp for 300,000 then call when Leonard shoved for 4,775,644. Leonard turned over ace-four but 800-522-4700 was laying in wait with pocket kings. A four on the flop gave Leonard some hope, but the kings held.

Leonard collected $1,611,342 for his runner-up finish, leaving 800-522-4700 to bank $2,198,292 and a WSOP Circuit ring.

This latest victory takes Leonard’s online tournament winnings past the $11.3 million barrier. He’s also won almost $2.6 million from live poker tournaments. What a guy!
