Farid Jattin Dominates Australian Poker Open $25k PLO Final Table – Andras Nemeth Grabs Championship Lead
Colombia’s finest, Farid Jattin, put on a clinic today at the Event #4 $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha final table, taking care of business by knocking out all four of his opponents in under 90 minutes. Jattin collected $290,00 for his efforts and with that, he puts himself within striking distance of the Championship lead.
The Championship lead changed today at the hands of Andras Nemeth who recorded his third cash – a fourth-place finish – to bring his points total to 480, 30 more than Canadian Mike Watson. Nemeth, however, was no match for the unstoppable freight train that was Jattin who’s been running hot in Australia.
“I came from Melbourne with a nice win, and today I came in with a big chip lead and I’m lucky that things worked out again.”

| Name | Country | Prize (AUD) | Points | |
| 1 | Farid Jattin | Colombia | $290,000 | 300 |
| 2 | Joni Jouhkimainen | Finland | $188,500 | 210 |

| 4 | Andras Nemeth | Hungary | $72,500 | 120 |
| 5 | Alex Foxen | United States | $58,000 | 90 |
The first elimination of the night took place in a three-way all in that saw George Wolff triple up with aces. Farid Jattin had both Wolff and Alex Foxen covered during this hand, holding kings, and the current No.1 tournament player in the world hit the rail as his ace-jack-nine-deuce with the suited ace did not improve.
With this elimination, Andras Nemeth had taken the Championship lead but unfortunately for him his lead will be small as he busted in fourth place. The Hungarian pro ended up all in holding ace-ace-six-six and Jattin looked him up with ace-jack-eight-six double suited.
“I have a bad feeling about this,” Nemeth said before the dealer fanned out two spades on the flop to give Jattin a flush draw. The turn brought the seven of spades, giving Jattin a flush, and the river did not help Nemeth.
As the eliminations followed each other up in quick succession, Wolff was next to go a few minutes later. Wolff busted in third when his ten-ten-eight-six was no match for Jattin’s king-nine-six-deuce which flopped a pair of kings right away.
Heads-up action was done quickly as well with Jattin sitting on four million chips versus Joni Jouhkimainen’s 350,000. Jattin’s winning hand was king-jack-six-three versus Jouhkimainen’s jack-seven-six-five as the Colombian pro made a winning two pair hand on the river to send the Fin to the rail.

Farid Jattin Holds Monster Lead at Event #4 Final Table; Andras Nemeth Collects 3rd Cash
The fourth event of the 2020 Australian Poker Open was Event #4: AU$25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha held from inside The Star Gold Coast poker room. It was the longest day of play so far during the Australian Poker Open as the event ticked into the 19th level, and once the dust settled and just five players remained, it would be Colombia’s Farid Jattin holding the chip lead with 2,075,000 heading into Wednesday’s PokerGO streamed Event #4 final table.
The final Pot-Limit Omaha tournament of the series attracted a total of 29 entrants that created a prize pool of $725,000. Once play reached the final table of seven players, the speed of play stalled as it would take 90 minutes before Mike Watson exited in seventh place. With the final six players now on the AU$58,000 money bubble, action continued for a further two hours before Sean Winter was eliminated in sixth place when his suited aces were run down by Jattin’s runner-runner straight after all the money went in preflop.
The final five players are all guaranteed AU$58,000 in prize money, but all eyes are set on the first-place prize of AU$290,000 and the title of Event #4 champion. The player best positioned heading into the fourth final table of the Australian Poker Open is Farid Jattin who holds nearly half the chips in play with 2,075,000. Jattin has amassed over $5.1 million in lifetime tournament earnings to see him sit atop the Colombian All Time Money List and this is his first cash in any Poker Central high roller tournament.
Sitting second in chips is Andras Nemeth with 740,000 in chips. Nemeth is collecting his third cash of the series following his victory in Event #2, and with this cash he is now tied with Mike Watson on points (although money-won is the tie breaker) in the Australian Poker Open Championship. Finish player and partypoker pro Joni Jouhkimainen is third overall with 610,000 in chips. Jouhkimainen finished fourth in Event #2 to see his lifetime tournament earnings eclipse the $3.8 million mark, and if he claim a victory in Event #4, he will move to third place on the Australian Poker Open Championship leaderboard.
Fourth overall is George Wolff with 475,000 in chips. This is Wolff’s first cash of the Australian Poker Open, and for the 2019 Global Poker Awards Breakout Player of the Year nominee, he has currently collected nearly $2.6 million in lifetime tournament earnings with his best result being a runner-up finish in the recent Aussie Millions AU$25k challenge. Rounding out the final table is Alex Foxen with 470,000 in chips. Like Wolff, this is Foxen’s first cash at the Australian Poker Open after recently making his way to Australia via the partypoker MILLIONS UK where he collected a third-place finish in the High Roller Finale. In December 2019, Foxen won the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic, and in doing so, claimed the Global Poker Index Player of the Year for the second consecutive year – a feat never before done.
