Reigning Champ Arrives
Last year's winner of this event, Dylan Weisman, has taken his seat at the table as he looks to be the first player ever to go back-to-back in the $1,500 8-max. For the second year running, he'll have to overcome over 1,000 other entrants to lock up the top prize.
Weisman is something of a PLO specialist: His first of two bracelets came in the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event back in 2021, where he took down $166,461. The same year, he almost doubled his tally, but came up just short, finishing fourth in the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed event.
Last year, his second victory truly cemented him as a big name in PLO, as he locked up the third-best score of his career, $294,311, as well as his second bracelet. He is certainly in the hunt for his third this year, already having placed fourth in the same event he won in 2021, as well as placing 14th in Event #44: $10,000 Big O Championship.
He couldn't make it two-in-a-row, could he?
