Specialist Lautaro Guerra Wins Record-Breaking $100K PLO SHR at WSOP Paradise

Table Of Contents

When Spanish pro Lautaro Guerra saw Event #3: $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Super High Roller on the schedule at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise series, he began to visualize taking down the prestigious title. As the tournament progressed, those visions became clearer until the final cards were dealt.

“During the whole tournament, I had that feeling like I was going to win it, even before coming here,” Guerra told PokerNews moments after claiming the biggest title of his career.

“I think this is the way to approach a tournament; you have to visualize yourself winning, and you achieve it.” That’s exactly what Guerra did, coming from behind on the added Day 3 at Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas to defeat Ben Tollerene and earn his first WSOP gold bracelet.

“Cannot be a better feeling than this; to take this down was what I came for.”

Record-Setting Event

For just the fifth time in history, poker’s Pot-Limit Omaha royalty battled in a six-figure PLO buy-in and the first at WSOP Paradise. This week’s event boasted a total of 88 entries, setting a new record among this elite short list of tournaments. That created a massive prize pool of $8,800,000, which was divided up among the top 17 finishers.

Guerra was part of the previous events, earning a 12th-place finish in the $100,000 Triton Monte-Carlo PLO Main Event just last month. This victory in The Bahamas is the largest of his career, taking home $2,126,770.

“This is the dream of any poker player when we start to play,” he explained. “We are looking to have a bracelet, and it feels really good to have it from a 100k.”

Ben Tollerene

Added Day 3

Originally scheduled to finish a night earlier, players endured more than 12 hours of play before the decision was made to bag for an added Day 3. Tollerene held the chip lead as play resumed, but that lasted just three hands.

After trading raises, Guerra’s stack was in the middle with Tollerene looking to close it out. The Spaniard’s aces held to double into a commanding chip advantage, and Guerra finished the job on the very next hand.

The pair shook hands and Guerra celebrated with his rail, as they quickly inspected his new piece of gold jewelry. The PLO specialist smiled for his winner’s photos and quickly turned his attention to the next event on his schedule.

Guerra will aim for another deep run this week in Event #8: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, but will also take the time to celebrate the largest score of his career.

“I cannot ask for anything else.”
