This week, you read all about the PartyPoker Grand Prix Summer Main Events on the PartyPoker Blog; it is time to learn who won the Pot-Limit Omaha edition. Three PLO PKO Championships crowned their champions, each turning a relatively small initial investment into far more substantial prizes. Keep reading to find out who those champions are.<\/p>\n
You would think a player with the alias “StupidDonkey” may not know what they are doing at the poker tables, but it appears the PartyPoker player sporting that name uses that moniker as a reverse tell. Why? Because they are the freshly minted Grand Prix Summer PLO PKO Championship winner.<\/p>\n
A field of 623 players bought into the event for $33, resulting in an $18,690 prize pool far greater than the advertised $15,000 guarantee. Half of that sum went into the main prize pool, with the remaining 50% placed on the heads of each entrant as a progressive bounty.<\/p>\n
“The Boss164” did not last long at the seven-handed final table, and they crashed out in seventh for a total prize worth $350. “Scotttthedog” joined the ever-growing list of busted players; their sixth-place exit came with $509 in prize money.<\/p>\n
The final five became four when “Kid1591.” crashed out, and they were followed to the rail by “Sluchice” in fourth. Those impressive deep runs saw those players collect $589 and $600, respectively.<\/p>\n
All three of the remaining players locked in more than $1,000 for their efforts when you included the juicy bounty payments. “Joker_James95” was the first of that trio to pad their PartyPoker bankroll with a four-figure prize, namely $1,027.<\/p>\n
“Joker_James95″‘s elimination left “StupidDonkey” in a one-on-one battle against “HazzardH” for the title, the glory, and the now substantial final bounty payment.<\/p>\n
The heads-up clash went the way of “StupidDonkey,” who added $1,944 worth of bounties to their $1,299 main prize pool score. Add those together, and a reward of $3,243 found its way to “StupidDonkey.” The runner-up headed into the night with $1,625.<\/p>\n

That chunky pot meant everyone at the seven-handed final table won more than 30 times their buy-in, with the champion taking home a prize worth precisely 142 times the $5.50 buy-in.<\/p>\n “Hermiman2283” was that player, the last person standing, and the recipient of $781. That prize resulted from a $492 payout plus $287 worth of bounty payments. “jhoni_u2” was the runner-up. They banked $661 for their efforts, which included $171 worth of bounties.<\/p>\n PLO is a crazy game in its own right, but throwing a PKO format into the mix makes it doubly so.
