The PLO series kicked off with a $5,100 buy-in event that saw last year's PGT PLO champion Lautaro Guerra defeating heads-up opponent Josh Arieh, a six-time bracelet winner who has three bracelets in Omaha events. Spain's Guerra is a PLO crusher of his own and won several PGT titles last year, including in the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship that brought him $518,750.
The next event, a progressive bounty tournament, saw Dylan Weisman winning a total of $195,245, including bounties, as he topped the field of 159 players. Weisman is a PLO specialist and coach who already had three PGT titles before he defeated Britain's Richard Gryko during heads-up play.
The next two winners were Americans Matthew Wantman and James Chen, who respectively earned $192,560 and $220,000 for their victories.
Another bounty event took place in the form of Event #5 - $15,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Progressive Bounty, which drew 82 runners and saw Isaac Haxton winning $383,740 and his second title of the PGT season.
According to PokerGO updates, Haxton's prize money notably included $214,000 in bounties he secured after defeating 2011 WSOP Player of the Year Ben Lamb during heads-up play.
The next event in the series is currently underway with a final table that includes Alex Foxen, Nick Schulman and Jeremy Ausmus. A preview of the final table is available on YouTube and the full stream can be watched on PokerGO.
