PGT PLO Series: Triumph of Ausmus, Glazer, and 'Bounty King' Wang

Eighth PGT Title for Jeremy Ausmus

Event #3: $5,300 PLO Quattro Bounty attracted 49 participants, creating a total prize pool of $245,000. A unique feature of this tournament was the $8,000 bounties for each elimination, which began to be awarded once only 13 players remained. The only exception was the heads-up elimination, where the winner received just $2,000.

The winner of the event was Jeremy Ausmus, claiming his eighth career title on the PokerGO Tour (PGT). While Ausmus’s stack fluctuated during the final table, he managed to reach heads-up play and confidently defeated Philip Shing.

The decisive hand came on a board showing T c 5 s 4 s 2 d A d, with the players going all-in after the flop. Ausmus with A s J c 8 h 7 s hit an ace on the river, defeating Shing’s Q s Q c T s 7 d. Ausmus took home a total of $77,450 (including $26,000 in bounty rewards).

Glazer Masters Marathons Heads-Up
