The 2026 TPC $400 Limit Omaha 8 tournament drew 52 tough entries to create a prize pool worth $17,160. Wayne Leonard outlasted a tough final table that included WSOP bracelet winner (and WPO O8 champ) A.J. Kelsall and 2024 TPC O8 champ Brian Ulch to take the top spot outright for $6,300.

Leonard told us he plans to play a lot of Omaha in Vegas this summer and use these events to hone his skills.

Good job and congrats Wayne!
