The PokerGO Tour (PGT) has brought us another series of tournaments. This time it's the PGT PLO Series, which has a total of 10 tournaments and runs from March 20 to March 29, 2024. Players in it will of course also earn valuable points towards the year-end leaderboard.
Daniel Negreanu victorious again
Daniel Negreanu released a video at the beginning of this year in which he presented his overall results for last year. The latter was his worst, when he finished in the red. So Daniel promised to make some changes in his game, and they obviously paid off.
During the recent days he played the third event of the PGT PLO Series, which was a $5,100 PLO tournament with 118 entries and a prizepool of $590,000. Cash prizes awaited 17 players, with a mincash worth $8,850 and $147,500 awaiting the winner.
Daniel defeated Anuj Agarwal in the final heads-up here to take home his second PGT trophy of the year. He also has two second place finishes and 8 final tables in PGT tournaments this year. With this, he is currently ranked third in the PGT Player of the Year rankings.
