Zektser Going For Second of the Series
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Igor Zektser, as of recent, has become an Omaha aficionado, having cashed in a whopping 21 Omaha events, since making the switch from Hold'em to PLO back in 2021. Of these 21, five have been at this year's series already, despite only having just passed the halfway mark.
Zektser plays any variation: this year alone, he made the money in:
- Event #15: $1,500 Mixed: Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better (95th, $3,381)
- Event #21: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better (63rd, $4,391)
- Event #24: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot (46th, $6,784)
- Event #44: $10,000 Big O Championship (36th $21,052)
To cap off an already extremely impressive series, Zektser went one step further and won his first-ever WSOP bracelet in Event #27: $1,500 Big O, taking home a whopping $297,285, along with a win he'd been chasing since his first WSOP cash back in 2013.
Back in the original PLO streets, he'll be searching to double his bracelet tally for the year, and his career, along with a sixth cash of the summer.
