The 2025 PGT Bounty Blitz continued from the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Event #3: $5,100 No-Limit Hold'em Quattro. The tournament drew 51 entries, and Sam Laskowitz leads the final six players.

Laskowitz picked off a big bluff on one of the final hands of the night to cement himself as the overnight chip leader with 29% of the chips in play. Laskowitz leads a final table that includes Cherish Andrews, John Andress, Landon Tice, Andrew Ostapchenko, and Dan Shak. These six players will return already guaranteed $9,200, while all eyes will be on the $47,500 first-place prize in addition to the bounties, 79 PGT points, and the Event #3 Bounty Blitz trophy.

The field of 51 entrants created a prize pool of $255,000, including $102,000 in bounties, and the final eight 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 first bounty began with 13 players remaining and was worth $6,000, while the remaining bounties are each worth $8,000.

Andrew Lichtenberger was the unfortunate bubble boy when he got his ten big blinds in with ace-nine against tens and failed to improve. Nick Seward was the next to go in eighth place. He got his stack in with the best hand of a three-way all-in, but at the conclusion of the runout, it was no longer the best hand. The remaining players converged on a single table, and shortly after a failed bluff left David Coleman with a single chip, Coleman was eliminated in seventh place, and the six remaining players bagged to return for the streamed final table.
