Let's jump straight into tournament number six, which took place during the PGT PLO Series at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. This tournament had a buy-in of $10,100 and had 99 entries, which meant a prizepool of $990,000.
Sean Rafael sat at the final table as chipleader with a stack of over 4 million. Sean eventually made his way into the final heads-up where Dylan Smith sat across from him. However, it was Smith who was more successful here, winning his second PGT title and $252,450 along with it.

Alex Foxen, who had a stack of more than 2.5 million, sat among the top five players going into the final day as chipleader. However, he fell shortstack in three-player play and looked like an early elimination. That didn't happen, however, and Alex battled his way through to the final heads-up where he was facing Jesse Lonis.
