Veselin Karakitukov Leads 2025 PGT PLO Series II Event #7: $15,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Final Table

The 2025 PGT PLO Series II continued from the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday with Event #7: $15,100 Pot-Limit Omaha. The tournament drew 86 entries and Veselin Karakitukov leads the final six players.

Karakitukov leads a final table that includes Joao Simao, Sean Rafael, Joni Jouhkimainen, Chino Rheem, and Matthew Wantman. These six players will return on Wednesday already guaranteed $64,500, but all eyes will be on the $348,300 first-place prize, as well as 279 PGT points and the Event #7 trophy.

The field of 86 entrants created a prize pool of $1,290,000 and the final 13 players earned a piece. Gabriel Andrade was the unfortunate bubble boy, falling after running into Jim Collopy's kings and failing to beat them. Taylor Wilson (13th), Alex Foxen (12th), Stefan Christopher (11th), Bruno Furth (10th), Jim Collopy (9th), and Sam Soverel (8th) cashed in the event prior to the final table.

Ben Tollerene busted in seventh place, falling to Karakitukov in a set-over-set confrontation. Holding , Karakitukov opened from the cutoff and Tollerene defended in the big blind. The flop came and Tollerene check-called a bet, landing the turn card.. Tollerene check-raised all in and saw his set was beat. No one-outer came, and Tollerene was out in seventh place.

Karakitukov notched his first cash of the series, as did Jouhkimainen. Simao pick up his second cash, while Rafael locked up his third. Highest on the leaderboard of the remaining players are the short stacks, Rheem and Wantman. A win would vault either into the top spot with three events to go. Up top for the leaderboard winner is a PGT Gold Cup and a $10,000 PGT Passport.
