The 2025 PGT PLO Series II continued from the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the stakes have been raised with Event #4: $10,100 Pot-Limit Omaha. The tournament drew 117 entries, and Christopher Costa leads the final six players.
Costa held one of the larger stacks for much of the evening, and he leveraged it to further accumulate en route to holding the overnight chip lead with nearly 28% of the chips in play. He leads a final table that includes Stefan Christopher, Ben Lamb, Fernando Habegger, Cary Katz, and Sean Winter. These six players will return with $58,500 locked up, but all eyes will be on the $292,500 first-place prize, 293 PGT points, and the Event #4 trophy.
The field of 117 entrants created a prize pool of $1,170,000, and the final 17 players earned a piece of it. Dylan Smith was the unfortunate bubble boy when he got his short stack in and fell to Costa's rivered two pair. James Chen (17th), Frederic Normand (16th), Sean Rafael (15th), LaDarren Banks (14th), Nacho Barbero (13th), Allan Le (12th), Michael Wang (11th), Stephen Hubbard (10th), Gruffudd Pugh-Jones (9th), and Lou Garza (8th) were the first to fall in the money.
The remaining players converged on a single table, and soon after, Daniel Aharoni got his chips in with a flopped set against Christopher's combo draw. The turn gave Christopher a flush, and when the river failed to pair the board, Aharoni was eliminated in seventh place, while the remaining players bagged to return for Day 2.
Winter picked up his third cash of the series and Katz notched his second, while Costa, Christopher, Lamb, and Habegger each grabbed their first. Event #1 winner Jesse Lonis currently sits atop the series leaderboard in the race to be crowned PGT PLO Series champion and awarded the PGT Gold Cup and a $10,000 PGT Passport.
