Sam Soverel, who just won the WSOP Paradise $100K Triton PLO Main Event, just proved once again why he is one of the final bosses of high stakes Pot Limit Omaha. Playing in Event 2, the $5,100 buy in tournament at the PGT PLO Series hosted at the Venetian Las Vegas Soverel, completely dismantled a field of 54 elite entrants. He walked away with $89,100 and extended his all-time record by capturing his 14th PGT title.
The Brutal Reality Of Tournament PLO
This single-day event generated a massive $270,000 prize pool, but the variance was incredibly ruthless. Top-tier crushers, including Andrew Lichtenberger, Bryce Yockey and Cary Katz, all fired bullets but ultimately bricked the event. The tournament bubble was an absolute bloodbath. Isaac Kempton grinded his stack down to a single chip before running his double-suited Queens into the Aces of Sam Soverel. The Aces held, and the remaining eight players locked up a minimum payday of $10,800.
The Final Table Masterclass
Soverel bought in late and immediately went on a rampage. He spun his 125,000 starting stack up to nearly 800,000 in just one level. After a few massive double-ups he breached the one million chip mark and never looked back. The final table was stacked with heavyweights, including Dylan Linde and Ky Nguyen, but Soverel systematically applied maximum pressure.
He entered heads-up play against Michael Wang with a commanding three-to-one chip lead. Wang fought hard for two hours, but Soverel eventually scooped three consecutive massive pots to cripple him. In the final hand, Soverel finished the job to secure the outright victory.
