Flashback: Four-Way Deal at First-Ever Diamond Poker Series PLO Grand Slam Championship
Back in November, a champion was crowned the first Diamond Poker Series €10,300 PLO Grand Slam Championship. The player who went by the nickname "Benjamin N" secured himself the largest part of the €1,203,200 prize pool in a four-way deal before finishing in style by shipping the trophy and the extra €20,000, totaling his winnings to €219,200.
He defeated another anonymous player, nicknamed "Phil Ejri", during a short, jovial, and volatile heads-up. "Phil Ejri" took home €166,500 for his efforts, while fourth-place finisher Nikolaos Lampropoulos and bronze medalist Lautaro Guerra walked away with €190,800 and €170,700 respectively.
Day 1 chipleader Harun Ertural and two-time bracelet winner Alex Livingston were eliminated from the final table before the deal discussions began.
