Lauri “Lateski” Varonen claimed the most prestigious Pot-Limit Omaha title of the series, taking down the SCOOP 85-H: $5,200 PLO [6-Max, PLO Main Event] for $192,074 and their first-ever SCOOP title.

The Finnish pro navigated a field of 61 total entries and overcame a tough final table that saw eight players return, with only seven guaranteed a slice of the $500,000 prize pool.

Returning in eighth, Elkku35 was the unfortunate bubble boy after busting early in Day 2 action. From there, the remaining seven locked up at least $19,000, but it was Varonen who steadily climbed to the top, eventually defeating start-of-day chip leader "gragik" heads-up to secure the title and nearly $200K in prize money.
