partypoker’s Isaac Haxton Leads Poker Masters Online: PLO Main Event Final Table
After doubling through Andre Santos, Isaac Haxton never looked back. The partypoker Team Pro caught fire through the final level of play to bag the Poker Masters Online: PLO Main Event final table chip lead.
While Haxton is the only player returning over 2,000,000, he’s also the only player over seven-figures. Chris Kruk is closest to that threshold, after he bagged just over 900,000.
Andre Santos and Grazvydas Kontaustas each finished over 800,000 and Finland’s Aku Joentausta brings up the rear with just shy of 500,000.
The Poker Masters Online: PLO Main Event will return on the bubble, with five players playing for four ITM spots. Here’s what’s up for grabs:
- $430,000
- $275,945
- $130,000
- $90,000
