The popular PGT series hosts a number of tournament series at PokerGo Studio throughout the year, including the Poker Masters, Super High Roller Bowl and PGT Series. These days, 4-card poker enthusiasts will be in for a treat, as the PLO Series is in full swing, featuring 11 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $5,100 to $25,300.
The opening event was the $5,100 event, which became the 4th largest PLO tournament in the history of the series thanks to 164 entries. The best of the 25 ITM players was local representative Ky Nguyen, who took home $180,400 no-deal. A second tournament with the same buy-in but in Progressive Bounty format produced similar numbers, namely 159 entries and a prizepool of $795,000. Billy Tarango scored his first career tournament triumph here, taking home $88,245 in prize money and $34,000 in bounty rewards in addition to the trophy.

But the world's media was mainly filled with the results of the third event, which again had a buy-in of $5,100. This tournament also recorded 159 entries, from which the champion emerged after two days of play. And the champion was none other than Daniel Negreanu, who won his 11th PGT title (his second this year) and $182,850 to go with it.
Negreanu went into the final heads-up against James Chen as the underdog with a chip ratio of 1-4, but even that didn't stop him from adding another tournament triumph to his $55 million hendonmob.

The action doesn't stop
So only 3 of the 11 scheduled tournaments are past us, with the buy-in level already rising above $10k from the fourth one. Daniel jumped right into Event #4 last night after winning, but failed to make the final table. Event #5 will play out tonight, alongside Event #4's champion, which will be one of the six players - Ben Tollerene, Richard Gryko, Chino Rheem, Michael Duek, Allan Le and Arthur Morris.
