Defending Champion Spotlight: Lautaro Guerra
When Spanish pro Lautaro Guerra arrived at WSOP Paradise last year, he already had a vision: winning the $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Super High Roller. Three days later, that vision became reality as he captured his first WSOP gold bracelet and a career-best $2,126,770 payday.

“During the whole tournament, I had that feeling like I was going to win it, even before coming here,” Guerra said after the victory. “You have to visualize yourself winning, and you achieve it.”
The event marked just the fifth six-figure PLO tournament in poker history and the first ever held at WSOP Paradise. With 88 entries and an $8.8 million prize pool, it became a record-setting showdown of the world’s best four-card specialists.
After a grueling Day 2, play was extended into an added Day 3, where Guerra came from behind to flip the script against eventual runner-up Ben Tollerene. His pocket aces held in a key all-in to seize control, and one hand later, he sealed the win.
“This is the dream of any poker player,” Guerra said. “We all want that bracelet — and to win it in a 100K feels amazing.”
