Home / News / Online Poker / PokerStars Anniversary Series: A second silver for Leonard

PokerStars is celebrating its 25th trip around the sun with a very special online series this month–one with tens of millions in prizes, real trophies for the champs, multiple buy-in tiers for events, and a variety of game types and formats.


LATEST NEWS

THURSDAY, MAY 21

SECOND SILVER FOR LEONARD: Once again, Patrick “pads1161” Leonard has come agonisingly close to a title. The Brit–who leads the world when it comes to the most COOP titles–finished second in the $1K Razz for $7,780, losing out to “h3pp4p01k4” from Finland, who topped the 27-entry field to bank $12,566. Leonard also finished second in a $1K 6-Max event on Monday.

TWO MULTIPLE CHAMPIONS CROWNED: We added two new names to our multiple champions list after Wednesday’s session, and both hail from Brazil. Having already won a $215 NLHE PKO, “Gofaziin26” won a second title in the $1K PKO for $26,200 total, besting 62 entries and forcing fellow Brazilian “Relthor1301” to be runner-up for the second time. Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson finished third. Meanwhile, “MiniAve” won a second title in the $320 PLO Mystery Bounty for $10,705 (the majority of which–$6,969–came from bounties), having already won a $55 5-Card PLO8 for $3,625.

DAILY COVERAGE ARCHIVE

WEDNESDAY, MAY 20

COME ON, CAMOSCI: There was a stellar line-up on the final table of the $1K NLHE Single Re-entry, which received 78 total entries. The likes of Juan “Malaka$tyle” Pardo, Daniel “SmilleThHero” Smiljkovic, and Pedro “PaDiLhA SP” Padilha all fell to leave Malta-based Italian Enrico “WhaTisL0v3” Camosci heads-up with Slovenia’s “snifamtiplaco”, and Camosci got the best of it, banking $22,942. He’s got a shiny Anniversary Series trophy heading his way.

Enrico “WhaTisL0v3” Camosci has three WCOOP titles, one SCOOP win, millions in live earnings, and is now a PokerStars Anniversary Series champion

VOUSDEN VICTORIOUS: Samuel “€urop€an” Vousden also has a new trophy for his collection. The Fin took down the $530 Deep Stacks, besting 142 entries to win $15,743. His good friend Patrick “pads1161” Leonard also made the final table but busted in sixth.

IT’S MILLER TIME: We usually see Ben “benmiller500” Miller topping high-stakes tournaments, but the Brit is putting in the work across all buy-in tiers in the Anniversary Series. Miller battled his way through 2,361 entries in the $11 NLHE Single Re-entry tournament and collected $3,681–plus an impressive trophy–for his efforts.

TUESDAY, MAY 19

DOUBLE FOR DIMOV: Ognyan “cocojamb0” Dimov took down not one but two PokerStars Anniversary Series titles on Monday. The first came in the $1K Turbo PKO, where the Bulgarian topped 57 entries and beat Felipe “lipe piv” Boianovsky heads-up to win $20,543. Dimov then conquered the 80-entry $530 Hyper for $8,342, denying “king153246” their second title of the series.

Huge score for Ognyan Dimov

Ognyan Dimov, known as “cocojamb0” on PokerStars, took down two Anniversary Series events on Monday (May 18)

NEAR MISS FOR LEONARD: Patrick “pads1161” Leonard might be the greatest COOP player in the history of PokerStars, but the Brit will have to wait a bit longer to add an Anniversary Series title to his collection. Leonard finished runner-up in the $1K 6-Max, battling through all but one of the 147 entries to bank $24,201. “Reygrip2014” from Belgium took it down for $31,485, while both Niklas “Lena900” Astedt (5th – $10,990) and Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson (6th – $8,448) made the final table.

TWO FOR TULIO: Dimov wasn’t the only multiple champ crowned on Monday. Brazil’s “tuliodutra96” has now won two in two days after beating Peter “Belabacsi” Traply heads up to win the $109 Turbo PKO for $11,996, including $6,504 in bounties. They took down the $55 Sunday Cooldown Mystery Bounty on Sunday for $10,114.

MONDAY, MAY 18

Niklas Astedt came close to a title

DIMITROV DENIES ASTEDT: Rewind back to Thursday and the $5K Thursday Thrill was the biggest game in town, attracting 47 entries from the game’s best. Aleks “grinder1992” Dimitrov finished on top for $77,119 (including $34,102 in bounties) after the Bulgarian beat Niklas “Lena900” Astedt heads-up. The Swede had to settle for $48,017 total.

CLASH OF THE TITANS: Three Titans events took place on Sunday and the biggest of the lot went to Gavin “gavz101” Cochrane. He bested Ben “bencb789” Rolle in the $5K edition and banked $87,885, topping 47 entries. Meanwhile, over in the 201-entry $530 Medium, “Kzhh” bested Samuel “€urop€an” Vousden for the title and $19,667.

OTHER NOTABLE VICTORIES:

  • Joris “BillLewinksy” Ruijjs won a $1K PKO Bounty Builder SHR for $28,921
  • “FollowTheBreath” clinched the $109 Sunday Kickoff for $23,291
  • Christian “Cmoosepower” Elgstrom took down the $1k 8-Game for $16,755

FRIDAY, MAY 15

Magic Mattsson

ONLY A MATTER OF TIME FOR MATTSSON: How did we get five days into a big online series without a single title for either of the two most successful Swedes in poker history? Yep, neither Simon “C. Darwin2” Mattsson or Niklas “Lena900” Astedt had a title until end-of-play on Thursday, but Mattsson set the record straight in the $215 Copacabana. The Swede overcame 492 entries and beat Bruno “botteonpoker” Botteon heads up to win $13,635.

SUPERB STREBKOV: Denis “aDrENalin710” Strebkov has added a PokerStars Anniversary Series trophy to his collection of SCOOPs and WCOOPS, topping the 133-entry $109 Stud Hi/Lo for $3,164. The Russian, who plays from Thailand, had to beat South Korea’s “kwangssi” heads up for the title, but don’t feel too bad for kwangssi–they took down the $11 Low edition of the same event for $1,084. Quite an accomplishment.

OTHER NOTABLES: Vladimir “SerVlaMin” Minko banked one of the biggest scores from Thursday’s session, winning the 123-entry $1K PKO Bounty Builder HR for $17,173 plus $23,187 in bounties. We also saw Robin “Robinho” Ylitalo top the $109 NLO8 for $5,341.

THURSDAY, MAY 14

Leon Sturm Anniversary Series

Success for Sturm

FIRST TWO-TIME CHAMP: It took four days of the PokerStars Anniversary Series for us to find our first multiple champion. “*LegolAssz*” of Hungary is the one to break through, winning both the 1,251-entry $11 PLO for $2,746, then the $5.50 NLHE Deep Stack for $4,273, besting 5,002 entries.

Joris Ruijs Leon Sturm

Joris “BillLewinsky” Ruijs (left) and Leon “RUMUKULUS” Sturm (right) made a heads-up deal in the PokerStars Open Monte Carlo Main Event. Ruijs got the best of that one, but Sturm has evened the score in the PokerStars Anniversary Series

STURM’S A’BREWING: Less than two weeks ago, Leon “RUMUKULUS” Sturm and Joris “BillLewinsky” Ruijs were battling heads-up in the PokerStars Open Monte Carlo Main Event. Ruijs got the best of that one after the two made a deal, but Sturm (who had already won a Spade in a €10K Mystery Bounty event for €93K) got his own back in the 179-entry PokerStars Anniversary Series $1K Super Tuesday. Both made the final table, but Ruijs bowed out in fifth for $14,812. Sturm went all the way, however, defeating “NY17PATS14” heads-up to ban $40,321.

BIGGEST SCORE OF THE NIGHT: Wednesday’s winningest player was “snifamtiplaco” of Slovenia, who took down the 40-entry $5K Super Tuesday High Roller for $73,348. Only five players cashed, with Daniel “starwins :)” Petersen finishing second for $50,524 and the rest rounded out by Juan “Malaka$tyle” Pardo (3rd – $36,282), Gavin “gavz101” Cochrane (4th – $24,639), and Bruno “great dant” Volkmann (5th – $15,206).

SMILJKOVIC, THE HERO: He’s a SCOOP champion, a WCOOP champion, and a WSOP bracelet winner. Now Daniel “SmilleThHero” Smiljkovic has added a PokerStars Anniversary Series title to the collection, topping the 89-entry $530 Turbo PKO for $13,635, including $7,859 in bounties.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 13

Spraggy came close to a title in Anniversary Series

Spraggy came close to a title in Anniversary Series, finishing third in a $530 Turbo PKO for $5,983

NINJA SPRAGGY: If you want to learn how to play a short stack, go and rewatch Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg’s stream from yesterday (Tuesday, May 12). The PokerStars Ambassador was 19/20 with 14 paid in the $530 6-Max Turbo PKO, but ninja’d his way to third place for $5,983. The final table also included Daniel “starwins :)” Petersen and Bruno “botteonpoker” Botteon, but “AcidVaule” would come out on top for $20,612 (including $11,625 in bounties) after beating Dalton “daltonhb” Hobold heads up.

$5K WIN FOR NACHO: High stakes cash game and MTT crusher “Nacho124441” from the Dominican Republic took down the $5K PKO Bounty Builder SHR for $33,277, as well as $41,641 in bounties along the way. The tournament had 41 entries, and the final included runner-up Alisson “heyalisson” Piekazewicz, Jans “Graftekkel” Arends, Guillaume “Nolet20” Nolet, and Andras “probirs” Nemeth.

FT FOR HUBER: Spraggy wasn’t the only red spade to make a run on Tuesday. Sebastian “peace&loove” Huber made the final table of the $5.50 NL 5-Card Draw but busted in seventh for $74. Romania’s “antonio19122013” topped it for $746.

TUESDAY, MAY 12

This might be the online series you’ve been dreaming about. Huge events every day, excellent structures and formats, and so far, plenty of overlays and added value–a gift to the players as PokerStars celebrates its 25th birthday.

So, if you’ve not played yet, you might want to change that.

The first weekend produced no superstar winners, but a few reliable grinders added new trophies to their collections, including “Old brock” ($320 NLHE Turbo, Fenomeno HR – $16,220) and “CatfishBillyMan” ($530 NLHE Turbo PKO Sunday Cooldown – $20,602).

The bigger winner from opening weekend was “PhIsFgg” of Belarus, who topped the $109 Sunday Million for $96,010.

The PokerStars Anniversary Series is running right now (May 10 to June 3, 2026) with 461 online poker tournaments. Buy-ins will range from as little as $5.50 all the way up to $15,000, so no one is boxed out.

POKERSTARS ANNIVERSARY SERIES OFFICIAL SITE

POWER PATH + POKERSTARS ANNIVERSARY SERIES

To help celebrate, PokerStars is also revamping its popular Power Path promotion so more players can take part in this unique online poker series. A new $530 Bronze Pass with 25% added value will run throughout the summer, replacing the previous Bronze Pass structure and its $109 value.

The new $530 Bronze Pass will be redeemable as an online ticket bundle for the PokerStars Anniversary Series, and 25% of added value is included on top of that–think of it as the cherry on top of the 25-year celebration cake.

All existing unredeemed $109 Bronze Passes will be renamed in the client to a “Spade Power Pass”.
