Ahead of the Poker Masters Online PLO Series, we take a look at the biggest PLO winners so far!

The Poker Masters Online is back this weekend, less than two months after Alexandros Kolonias won the Purple Jacket as the winner of the very first Poker Masters Online.

However, this time around it's the four-card wizards who will get their time in the limelight with each of the 30-event schedule played in Pot Limit Omaha.

That's why we thought we'd delve into the archives and take a look at who has won the most money in Poker Masters PLO Events!


Pot Limit Omaha at the Poker Masters

The very first Poker Masters was held in September 2017 with five events, but no Pot-Limit Omaha events. It wasn't until the following year that Keith Lehr would write his name into the history books as the first winner of a Poker Masters PLO event, taking home $333,000 after topping a 37-player field.

There were two PLO events at the 2019 Poker Masters. Ryan Laplante took down the $10,000 buy-in event, while Sam Soverel triumphed in the $25,000 buy-in event, en-route to Poker Masters Main Event victory and Purple Jacket winner as the overall festival champion.

However, the top two spots on the all-time Poker Masters Pot-Limit Omaha money list come from the recent Poker Masters Online. With five PLO events on the schedule, Tobias Ziegler, Pauli Ayras, Laszlo Bujtas and Eelis Parssinen had already tasted victory before Pascal Lefrancois bested a 61-player field to win Poker Masters Online Event #23 for $527,510.

Lefrancois defeated Andras Nemeth heads-up, whose $343,125 cash is good enough for second place in our all-time money list.

Lefrancois tops the Poker Masters Pot Limit Omaha All-Time Money List ahead of Andras Nemeth, who the Canadian defeated heads-up. The top ten is littered with PLO event winners, but special mention has to go to Andreas Torbergsen and Jorryt van Hoof who are the only players to have cashed in three PLO events at the Poker Masters. Will they be ones to watch during the upcoming festival?
