Live Events
Nacho Barbero completely dominated the 30k PLO Bounty event yesterday, taking home $763,000. Today he has a chance to repeat that success as he will enter the 50k PLO event as a chipleader.

Yesterday was the final day of Event #13 at Triton Jeju. It was the $30,000 PLO Bounty Quattro with 84 entries and a prizepool of $1,680,000.

Express Final Table

There were 7 players at the final table here and sitting on their chiplead was Dan Smith. He thus had a chance to win another title after a few days.

However, things turned out differently. Nacho Barbero took the chip lead and quickly eliminated each of his opponents, taking home a $40,000 bounty for each of them. We witnessed an unconventional end to the tournament as we saw a straight winner from the last three players. That was Nacho Barbero, who took home $443,000 plus another $320,000 in bounties. In total, he won $763,000.
