The 2024 PGT PLO Series presented by PLO Mastermind continued at the PokerGO Studio from ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada with Event #4: $10,100 Pot-Limit Omaha.
Arthur Morris bagged the chip lead and holds over 39% of the chips in play as six players remain. Samuli Sipila, Stefan Christopher, Christopher Frank, Artem Maksimov, and Andre Cruz round out the players who will return for the final day as play resumes at 12 p.m. PT on Sunday, March 24 with the delayed final table stream beginning at 1 p.m. PT on PokerGO.
The 89-entrant field created a prize pool of $890,000 and the top 13 finishers earned a piece it. Allan Le was the unfortunate bubble boy when Morris made a flush to send Le to the rail. Among those to cash were Bryce Yockey (13th), Joshua Ladines (12th), Eddie Bryant (11th), Ronald Keijzer (10th), and Krasimir Yankov (9th). Yockey picked up his third cash of the series, while Frank and Maksimov were among those to pick up a second cash of the series.

Morris held the top stack for much of the latter half of the day and scored a double knockout of Cary Katz and Dylan Weisman before he leveraged his sizable stack en route to the end-of-day chip lead. As the night progressed, Stephen Hubbard fell in eighth place when his kings were rivered by Sipila's straight, and seven players converged on a single table.
Ian Matakis had lost a huge pot to Sipila earlier, and he was the short stack heading into the final table. Matakis' stack dwindled further as he found an unfavorable card distribution for several orbits before his last few blinds went in against Morris. Matakis was drawing dead on the turn and was eliminated in seventh place, while the six remaining players bagged to return for the streamed final table.
Each player has locked up $35,600 but all eyes will be on the $240,300 first-place prize, 240 PGT points, and Event #2 trophy.
