Fintan Hand wins a SCOOP live on Twitch

Elsewhere Pleno1 banks seven figures getting heads-up in the WSOP-C High Roller event on one of the biggest Sundays in recent memory.





There are simply too many big money tournaments taking place online right now to even begin commenting on all of them, but two from Sunday stand out. 

Popular Twitch streamer Fintan Hand is one of the few people to live stream a COOP win from start to finish, which he managed after getting heads-up with Antoine Saout in the SCOOP 69 High $1,050 event. 

He banked $73,652 for that live in front of almost 15,000 viewers, and he was very happy afterwards. 

Pleno1 wins $1.6 million

Elswhere a former PokerStrategy.com legend had a career best score in the GGPoker WSOP-C $25,000 High Roller event. 

505 players entered and Patrick 'Pleno1' Leonard got heads-up, taking down $1,611,342 for his troubles. The eventual winner '800-522-4700' took down $2,198,291 for the biggest prize awarded on GGPoker. 

If you know Patrick, you'll know his response already, which is to get straight back on the grind without any breaks to celebrate:

So we'll do it for him, congrats from your old buddies at PokerStrategy.com.
