The largest pot-limit Omaha tournament in live poker history went to a guy who doesn't play much PLO, by his own admission. Ryan LaPlante bested the 2,483-player field for $190,328, the best live cash for the Minnesota-based pro, and his first bracelet.
"If this is the first record I'll have, I'm excited try to get as many more as possible," he said of the distinction he will likely hold for at least another year.
Unlike Colossus champ Cord Garcia, who admitted he was hoping to hold the record of largest live field beaten for a bit longer, LaPlante said he hopes this event gets even bigger next year.
