Seth Davies Climbs from Two Big Blinds to Win $100k SHRB PLO for $1.5 Million
Table Of Contents
The second-ever PokerGo Tour (PGT) Super High Roller Bowl: $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha wrapped up on Saturday with Seth Davies winning $1.5 million and his second SHRB title in two months.
The high-stakes PLO event drew 42 players for a prize pool of $4.2 million, an increase from the 38-player field in 2023 that saw Jared Bleznick winning the inaugural event. The sports cards enthusiast, who used time banks to open a few cards at the final table, looked to defend his title as he entered Day 3 as the chip leader but bowed out in fourth place for $450,000.
This year’s champion entered as the short stack and lost nearly his entire stack before going on a run that saw him ladder past Bleznick and eliminate Sean Winter (3rd - $600,000) to enter heads-up play with a dominant lead over runner-up Artem Maksimov ($900,000), the only non-American at the final table.
“I had two big blinds, not so much of that was skill,” Davies told PokerGO’s Remko Rinkema. “I just got really lucky over and over again. So I mean incredible result obviously, but it’s a PLO tournament, craziness happens, we all saw it. I just won every hand for two hours. So that’s what happened.”

Newcomer to PLO
The victory gives Davies his second SHRB title in just two months after he took down August’s Super High Roller Bowl Cyprus for $3.2 million. In March, he won a PGT PLO $25,000 event for $522,000 after recently deciding to focus on Omaha.
“I’m obviously not the best player in the room at this game,” he said. “I’ve only been playing it seriously for about a year or so. Omaha itself is a really great poker game. I feel like it’s very much a poker player’s game. And I say that meaning everything kind of makes sense. It’s like a big logic puzzle. Whereas hold’em is a little bit kind of computer-y.”
The PLO event drew the best high-stakes Omaha specialists in the world, including recent PGT PLO Championship winner Ben Tollerene (7th - $170,000) and six-time bracelet winner Josh Arieh (5th - $330,000).
Rinkema called Davies’ climb back from two big blinds “one of the most epic comebacks we have ever seen, especially in an event this big.”
According to PokerGO, the victory moves Davies into third on the PGT leaderboard behind recent PLO champion Daniel Negreanu and Jeremy Ausmus, who bubbled the high roller event.
