Alex Foxen Leads PGT PLO Series II Event #2: $5,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Quattro Bounty Final Table

The 2025 PGT PLO Series II continued from the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Event #2: $5,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Quattro Bounty. The tournament drew 133 entries, and Alex Foxen leads the final four players.

Foxen stayed near the top of the leaderboard for much of the evening and scored a double knockout on the final hand of the night to cement himself as the overnight chip leader with more than half of the chips in play. He leads a final table that includes Michael Wang, LaDarren Banks, and Kamel Mokhammad. These four players will return with $32,000 locked up in addition to their earned bounties, but all eyes will be on the $87,000 first-place prize, 144 PGT points, and the Event #2 trophy.

The field of 133 entrants created a prize pool of $665,000, including $266,000 in bounties, and the final 19 players earned a piece of the regular prize pool. In this Quattro format, the bounties came into play with 25% of the starting field remaining. The bounty portion began with 34 players remaining, with all bounties being worth $8,000, except for the very last bounty paid (elimination of second place), which will be $2,000.

Foxen has earned nine bounties for a total of $72,000 so far, which is already more than the second-place prize money. Wang has secured three bounties, Banks has claimed two, while Mokhammad has yet to score one.

Stefan Christopher was the unfortunate bubble boy when he got his chips in on a flop with aces and wasn't able to hold in a three-way all-in. Daniel Aharoni (19th), Cary Katz (18th), Kharlin Sued (17th), Frederic Normand (16th), John Riordan (15th), Isaac Haxton (14th), Dylan Smith (13th), Bryce Yockey (12th), Zachary Schwartz (11th), Lou Garza (10th), Jesse Lonis (9th), and Maksim Pisarenko (8th) were the first to fall in the money.

The remaining players converged on a single table, and soon after, Dan Shak got his chips in with a flopped set but ran into Foxen's wheel and was eliminated in seventh place. Some orbits later, Christopher Hannel was all-in for his short stack preflop, and both Foxen and Joe Serock went bounty hunting. Foxen barrelled all three streets and rivered a superior flush to eliminate Hannel in sixth place and Serock in fifth place, while the remaining players bagged to return for Day 2.
