A record breaking PLO field
The opening event of a Pot Limit Omaha series has attracted more players than any No Limit event on the PokerGO Tour.
It's not often we get to write about PLO MTTs but we cannot ignore them when they break a record.
The first ever PokerGO PLO Series began with a record field. The $5,000 PLO opener attracted 200 entries in total, with 140 unique players.
That is a record for any PokerGO Tour event for both overall size and number of unique players. There hasn't been a No Limit event that has beaten it.
It's even more impressive considering most of the PokerGO Tour high stakes regulars are in Vietnam right now, closing out the latest Triton Series.
Amateur player Daniyal Iqbal took it down for $160,000 players at a final table that included Jeff Madsen, Ethan Yau and David Williams.
The next $5,000 event in the series has attracted another huge field of 179 and Daniel Negreanu is at the final table at the time of writing.
| Position | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Daniyal Iqbal | $160,000 |
| 2nd | Roussos Koliakoudakis | $120,000 |
| 3rd | Stanislav Halatenko | $90,000 |
| 4th | Eelis Parssinen | $70,000 |
| 5th | Peng Zheng | $60,000 |
| 6th | Jeff Madsen | $50,000 |

| 8th | Ethan Yau | $40,000 |
| 9th | David Williams | $30,000 |
