It took just shy of five hours for PACOOP-30: $500 PLO [6-Max, High-Roller] $25K Gtd to see a title claimed. In total, 76 entries generated a prize pool of $35,720, exceeding its guaranteed prize pool by over 40% with the lion's share of $8,712 going to "TryptophanMan".
"TryptophanMan" used one of their three allotted re-entries after being eliminated during the three-hour late registration period, and rode a heater that left them atop the counts when registration closed. At that time, 24 remained with the top 11 set to make it into the money, a feat that would happen when none other than "TryptophanMan" burst the bubble to amass more than one-fourth of the chips in play with 11 remaining.
Thirty minutes later, "TryptophanMan" would once again be the one bursting the next bubble, eliminating "Lachoy14" in eighth place to bring the final table of seven.

On the second hand of the final table, "TryptophanMan" scored another knockout, sending "soccerdad29" out in seventh."AllinWithAJoff" and "sawyer2117" followed shortly thereafter, and five-handed play then occurred for a bit until "TryptophanMan" sent "Morning Waffles" packing in fourth.
Three-handed play began with "TryptophanMan" holding roughly two-thirds of the cips in play, while "MR.20InchArms" and "hunterm708" were nearly even in chips. The two of them wound up playing for stacks with "hunterm708" coming out on top and leaving "MR.20InchArms" crippled. They found two doubles, but eventually ran kings into "hunterm708's" aces and finished in third.
"hunterm708" started the heads-up match with almost a two-to-one advantage and took the lead for a quick moment, but "TryptophanMan" quickly regained momentum, erasing the defecit and building an even bigger chip lead than when they started the match. A few hands later, stacks went in on a queen-queen-three flop with "TryptophanMan" holding an ace and a queen, both of which wound up playing as their trips held versus a backdoor flush draw to claim the title and the accompanying prize of $8,712.
It marked the second title win for "TryptophanMan", who on Sunday, September 20 topped a 191-entry field to win Event #7: $100 PLO [6-Max] $15K GTD for $3,497.29.
