PokerStars Titans Victory Pushes Leonard Maue's Online Earnings to $11.5 Million
Leonard “Grozzorg” Maue added to his already glowing reputation over the weekend when he came out on top in the $5,200 Titans Event online at PokerStars. Maue got his hands on $82,322 after battling through an all-star cast, and that prize money pushed Maue’s recorded online tournament winnings to almost $11.5 million.
Maue enjoyed a stellar 2023 and his rich vein of form seems to have continued into 2024. Last year, Maue finished fifth in the $10,300 WCOOP Main Event at PokerStars for $298,792, finished second in a $10,300 buy-in event at GGPoker for $294,841, and took down the special edition $10,300 Super MILLION$ at GGPoker for $1,358,444.
He also enjoyed his best year in the live poker arena, banking $1,830,264, an impressive sum helped by his runner-up finish in the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Monte Carlo Main Event worth 697,175 ($768,161).
March 3 looked to be a case of what could have been for Maue because he finished fifth in the $1,050 Sunday Warm Up High Roller for $2,386, and second in the $530 Sunday Marathon, after a chop, for $4,791. However, Maue saved the best until last, outlasting 60 opponents and helping himself to $82,322 of the $305,000 prize pool

2 | lgammil120 | Belarus | $61,659 |
3 | Rodrigo “SELOUAN1991” Selouan | Brazil | $46,182 |

8 | Rodrigo “seijistar” Seiji | Brazil | $10,886 |
9 | dujo123 | Canada | $9,508 |
All but one of the nine Titans Event finalists at least doubled their money; ninth-place finisher “dujo123” collected $9,508, so they still turned a profit.
Brazilian Rodrigo “seijistar” Seiji fell in eighth for $10,886, and would later finish second in the $1,050 Sunday Warm Up High Roller for an additional $10,174.
The final seven became six when Benjamin “bencb789” Rolle, playing from Bulgaria, bowed out and banked $14,534. Daniel “Razer2311” Rezaei and “roo_400” joined the growing list of busted players, turning their $5,200 investments into $19,405 and $25,908, respectively.
Pavel “silentm0de Plesuv came unstuck in fourth, a finish good for $34,590 before another Brailian in Rodrigo “SELOUAN1991” Selouan saw his latest deep run end in a third-place finish worth $46,182.
Belarusian “|gammi|120” was Maue’s heads-up opponent but they proved no match for the in-form German. Second place came with $61,659, still a good day at the office, but not as sweet as the $82,322 Maue added to his PokerStars balance.
Darie Demolishes Bounty Builder High Roller
The $530 Bounty Builder High Roller is a popular Sunday tournament at PokerStars, and Vlad “dariepoker” Darie is the latest superstar to triumph in this event. A field of 294 players created a $147,000 prize pool, and Darie claimed the largest slice.
Plenty of well-known grinders found themselves at the final table. Jorge “UruRey” Ramella, Ihar “OMGitshunt” Soika, Dmitry “yurasov1990” Yurasov, and Alessandro “HakiD93” Pichierri were among those big names; Soika had earlier won the $530 Sunday Marathon.
Darie’s final opponent was Brazil’s “TakeZITO1.” Both heads-up players locked in $12,270 from the regular prize pool, leaving the final bounties to play for. “TakeZITO1” was ultimately resigned to a runner-up finish worth a combined $17,645, leaving Darie to bask in the glory of victory with a $27,801 payout in his PokerStars account.
