Team partypoker\u2019s Patrick Leonard<\/strong><\/a> padded his bankroll with more than $12,000 and became a WPTWOC event winner<\/strong><\/a> in the process.<\/p>\n

Leonard was one of 306 entrants in the $215 buy-in WPT 8-Max: $50K Gtd<\/strong>. Only 40 places were paid, so spare a little thought for Mortan Holm Schwartson<\/strong> of the Faroe Islands who busted in 41st place and burst the money bubble.<\/p>\n

Renato Nomura<\/strong><\/a> saw his tournament end in a 29th place finish worth $581. Others who cashed included Viktor Ustimov<\/strong>, Christophe De Meulder<\/strong>, Fabio Sperling<\/strong><\/a>, Barry Hutter<\/strong>, Lars Kamphues<\/strong>, Roman Matveichuk<\/strong>, and final table bubble boy Jerry Odeen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Each of the eight finalists secured at least $1,288 for their efforts. Augustin Hagen<\/strong>, Diogo Gomes<\/strong>, and Matthieu Rodriguez<\/strong> were the final table\u2019s first casualties. Pablo Roman<\/strong> followed Rodriguez to the rail before Sweden\u2019s Alexander Ivarsson<\/strong> fell in fourth-place for $4,498.<\/p>\n

Joshua Hoesel<\/strong>, from his base in Mexico, crashed and burned in third for $6,141 which left Leonard and Istvan Habencius<\/strong> to fight it out for the title and the tournament\u2019s $12,079 top prize.<\/p>\n

Leonard defeated his Hungarian opponent and helped himself to the lion\u2019s share of the $61,200 prize pool. Habencius banked $8,753 for his impressive runner-up finish.<\/p>\n
