Pads gets two Royal Flushes in 20 minutes
Most of us wait a lifetime for the best hand in poker, Patrick Leonard didn't even have to make it to the five minute toilet break to get his second.
You get a Royal Flush in Texas Hold'em every one in 649,739 hands. Our good friend Patrick 'Pads' Leonard has certainly put in the volume, therefore, to have been dealt two in his lifetime. It just so happened they both came in the same session.
This week during the World Championship of Online Poker he flopped a Royal at the final table of the $2,100 PKO High Roller (which Pads came 2nd in):

This is not the only remarkable back-to-back feat pulled off by Pads this WCOOP. Last month he won two WCOOP titles in the same session. He took down the $5,200 Heads-up Championship for $230,000 and the $109 Fixed Limit title for $20,400. That takes his overall COOP haul to 14.
Loving the WCOOP grind so far. Very fortunate to have won my 13th and 14th COOP titles in the last 2 days in the World Championship of Heads Up and Limit Holdem haha... We're not even half way through now so if you're running bad keep grinding and plenty time to turn it round. pic.twitter.com/1c4Kc39SDi
