John Samuelson Wins Event #11: $600 PLO Championship II
One of the premier events on the Lone Star Poker Series Champions Social schedule was Event #11: $600 PLO Championship II, which took place on Wednesday night.
The tournament attracted 91 runners and easily surpassed its $25K GTD by creating a $46,410 prize pool.
Among those to cash but fall short of making the final table were Curtis Cavasos (10th - $1,044), Henry Yu (11th - $1,044), Daniel Schmiech (12th - $1,044), and Kristopher Burchfield (13th - $600).
The final table, which was live-streamed, proved to be a lengthy affair that went into the early morning hours. In the end, it was John Samuelson of Westwego, Louisiana besting Houston's David Mzareulov in heads-up play to win the title and a hefty $13,028 first-place prize.
