Lautaro Guerra Cabrerizo Wins the PGT PLO Championship for…
On the last day of the first PokerGO Tour (PGT) Pot-Limit Omaha Series in Las Vegas, Event #9: $2,200 5-Card Pot-Limit Omaha was won by Ronald Keijzer of the Netherlands for $43,700. Yet in the second half of the PLO Series, Lautaro Guerra Cabrerizo has dominated.
After winning Event #5: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha for $220,400, the Spaniard went on to win Events #7: $15,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty and the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship for scores of $228,000 and $518,750, respectively, for a total of $967,150.
In addition to his three cashes, which were all victories, Cabrerizo went away from the PokerGO Studio with $1,067,150 and the top spot on the PGT Leaderboard after including bonuses and the championship bonus.
Cabrerizo Crushes PLO Series
Cabrerizo, who plays PLO events nearly exclusively, according to his Hendon Mob, had no documented cashes in the PokerGO Studio prior to the start of the PLO Series. Things changed when he overcame 112 competitors in Event #5 and finally defeated Joni Jouhkimainen of Finland in heads-up play.
Cabrerizo had barely begun his career. Event #7 attracted a number of skilled Omaha crushers, including Yuval Bronshtein (8th – $45,600), Robert Cowen (7th – $57,000), and Isaac Haxton (6th – $68,400), but Cabrerizo prevailed once again.
Alex Foxen, who is no stranger to success in the PokerGO Studio, finished in third place and collected $171,000. According to PokerGO live updates, Isaac Kempton was eliminated in second place for $171,000 after he called off with trips against the straight of Cabrerizo. Kempton placed fourth in Event #2: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty for $37,590 earlier in the tournament.

Cabrerizo had to be in high spirits before to the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, which attracted 114 competitors and offered a $1.7 million prize pool. George Wolff (12th – $41,500), Jeremy Ausmus (10th – $62,250), and Josh Arieh (7th – $103,750) all cashed in the PLO Championship.
Nacho Barbero and Jim Collopy were vying for their second titles of the series after Barbero won Event #3: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha and Collopy won Event #6: $10,000 Mixed PLO / PLO8 / Big O, but Barbero was eliminated in sixth place for $124,500 and Collopy was eliminated in seventh place for $166,000.
Following the eliminations of Chris Lee (4th – $207,500) and Krasimir Yankov (3rd – $269,750), the heads-up duel between Ren Lin and Cabrerizo resulted in the Spaniard’s career-high $518,750 victory.
