Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas is currently hosting the WSOP Paradise series, which has attracted some of the biggest names in poker. The tournament schedule yesterday included the $50,000 buy-in PLO Championship, which brought 122 entries and a prizepool of $6,100,000.
A prize of $1,357,080 awaited the winner and the top 7 players battled it out on the final day. The chipleader here was Ben Tollerene with a huge stack of up to 14,465,000. Yang Wang had the second biggest stack and that was worth 5,160,000.
Pascal Lefrancois was the first to bust out, followed by Benny Glaser ($304,870) at the cashier. Original chipleader Ben Tollerene eventually had to settle for third place, which was worth $746,790.
Yang Wang entered the final heads-up as chipleader and held a 2:1 advantage against Stephen Chidwick. It didn't take long for the chipleader to be Stephen Chidwick with an advantage of as much as 4:1. He kept increasing his lead and eventually Stephen became the PLO Championship winner, taking home his second WSOP bracelet and $1,357,080. He won his first bracelet in 2019 when he was the champion of the $25,000 PLO High Roller. Stephen has current live tournament winnings worth more than $63 million.
