PLO Cash Game World Championship 2025

CoinPoker launches the first-ever PLO edition of the CGWC from October 6 to November 2, 2025. Four weeks of rake-free 6-max action, $55K+ in prizes, a $15K Rolex for the champion, and daily streams make this the ultimate showdown for Omaha fans.

The "Coin Series of Online Poker Fall (CSOP) – The Player Series" on CoinPoker was the biggest and most successful series in the platform’s young history.

But there’s no time to slow down, as an exciting new highlight is here — a true must-play for PLO cash game fans, bringing even more action to the tables.

The new Online Poker Promotion on CoinPoker promises action at the highest level and is comparable to the Mid-Stakes Cash Game World Championship held in June 2025, bringing a similar level of excitement and competition to the tables.

CoinPoker is set to host the first-ever PLO edition of the Cash Game World Championship (CGWC), running from October 6 to November 2, 2025.

PLO Cash Game World Championship

PLO takes the spotlight with four weeks of nonstop action on rake-free tables, featuring over $55,000 in prizes. Building on the success of past editions, the 2025 PLO Cash Game World Championship gives both recreational players and seasoned pros the chance to compete for major rewards and global recognition in the online poker scene.

The leaderboard offers $29,000 in extra prizes, with the overall champion taking home an exclusive $15,000 Rolex, all on top of regular cash game winnings. Adding to the excitement, weekly $5,000 VIP games provide even more opportunities to win.

In the CGWC PLO, leaderboard points are awarded based on EV BB (expected value of big blinds won, or all-in equity adjusted winnings), ensuring a more skill-focused competition by reducing variance. At the $500 PLO tables, each EV BB equals one leaderboard point, while at the $2,000 PLO tables, each EV BB counts as 2.5 leaderboard points.

Every Sunday at 5 PM UTC, CoinPoker hosts a $5,000 PLO 7-Max VIP Game. Each week, five players earn a $2,000 buy-in based on standout categories — coolest hand played, most hands played, biggest loss, most under EV, and highest VPIP.

In addition, one recreational player receives a double starting stack worth $2,000 to join the lineup. Please note: hands played in VIP games do not count toward the leaderboard.

How to Qualify for the VIP Game?

Each week, five players earn a VIP seat in the PLO CGWC through the following categories:

• Coolest Hand Played – chosen by a weekly fan vote on X/Twitter.
• Biggest $ Loser – the week’s biggest downswing.
• Most Under $EV Player – the unluckiest compared to expected value.
• Most Hands Played – rewarding volume grinders.
• Highest VPIP % – tracked in 6-max play (min. 2,000 hands).

Hands are reviewed every Saturday, with weekend play counting toward the next week’s qualification. To enter the Coolest Hand Played category, players submit their hand ID via the PLO Players Union Discord. Seats are transferable if a winner can’t play, and hands in VIP Games don’t count toward the leaderboard.
