2025 PGT PLO Series II Runs October 14-25

The sixth installment of the PGT PLO Series will be the 12th series of the 2025 PGT season. The PGT PLO Series will run from October 14-25, 2025, and will be held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 10-event schedule is exclusively Pot-Limit Omaha events, with buy-ins ranging from $5,100 to the $25,200 finale. There are also three bounty events, including the return of the Mystery Bounty event. The first nine events play down to the final six players, who will return the following day to conclude the event on PokerGO.com. The $25k finale will play twelve levels on Day 1 and return to conclude on the final day where it will play down to the winner. All PGT PLO Series events are unlimited reentries, except the $25k Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, which remains at two reentries maximum.

The PGT shot clock will be active during the PGT PLO Series, with players having 20 seconds to act on their hand preflop, and 30 seconds postflop. Time extensions are worth 30 seconds each, regardless of which street they are used. In the $5k buy-in events, players will receive six time extensions before the first break, and four thereafter. In the $10k and $15k buy-ins, players will receive eight time extensions before the first break, and six thereafter. In the $25k finale, players will receive 10 time extensions before the first break, and eight thereafter. Additional time extensions are distributed to players in the money if the field reaches 71 entrants. The final seven players will also receive six additional time extensions.

Levels for the PGT PLO Series II will vary according to the buy-in. Events #1 to #3 will be 30 minutes throughout the tournament. Events #4 to #6 will be 30-minute levels until the start of Level 13, where they will be increased to 40 minutes. Events #7 to #9 will be 30-minute levels until the start of Level 9, where they will be increased to 40 minutes. Event #10 will be 45-minute levels until the start of Level 9, where they will increase to 60 minutes. Registration is open until the start of Level 9 in all events.

The PGT PLO Series is part of the 2025 PGT season, with players earning PGT points based on the amount they cash for in each event. The PGT points awarded during the PGT PLO Series II will also decide who is crowned the PGT PLO Series champion and receive the $10,000 PGT Passport bonus and the PGT Gold Cup. PGT points accumulated throughout the PGT season will decide players' final position on the PGT leaderboard. The season-ending top 40 eligible players and select Dream Seat winners will qualify for the 2025 PGT $1,000,000 Championship, where the first-place prize will be $500,000.

Who Will Be Crowned the 2025 PGT PLO Series II Champion?

Previous PGT PLO Series champions include Lautaro Guerra (2023), Daniel Geeng (2023), Samuli Sipila (2024), Matthew Wantman (2024), and Jesse Lonis (2025).

Those players are all the betting favorites to contend for the 2025 PGT PLO Series II title. Wantman and Lonis are PGT regulars and will without doubt be in attendance, while Guerra hasn't missed a PGT PLO Series yet. Both Sipila and Geeng have missed a few, but Sipila will likely return for the October series with his fellow European contingent of crushers that include Joni Jouhkimainen, Eelis Parsinnen, and Jonas Kronwitter.

Other favorites are local players, including 2024 PGT Player of the Year, Jeremy Ausmus, alongside Daniel Negreanu, Alex Foxen, Nick Schulman, Dylan Weisman, and a recently relocated Josh Arieh. Players traveling to attend the PGT PLO Series include Bryce Yockey, Allan Le, and Ronald Kiejzer. They are all also among the favorites to contend for the series title.

Some players who will be looking to use the PGT PLO Series as a springboard to improve their position on the PGT leaderboard are Alex Foxen, Sam Soverel, Adam Hendrix, and Chino Rheem. These four players dominate the top ten on the PGT leaderboard and are looking up to Michael Mizrachi, who leads with 2,250 PGT points. Foxen is second overall with 2,132 PGT points and will likely dethrone Mizrachi in the coming months. Soverel is third overall with 1,883 PGT points and is a few big wins away from moving into first. On the back of his WSOP Main Event run, Hendrix sits sixth with 1,503 PGT points and can improve on his position for the PGT $1,000,000 Championship in his best game of Pot-Limit Omaha. Rheem is in eighth place with 1,327 PGT points and will look to capitalize on his strong start to the season by moving into the top five.

How to Watch the 2025 PGT PLO Series?
