2020 Poker Masters Online PLO

The second online Poker Masters series in 2020 was the 2020 Poker Masters Online PLO, and this series was dedicated entirely to the great game of pot-limit Omaha. Like the 2020 Poker Masters Online, this series was held in partnership with partypoker, with the online platform hosting the series of 16 events.

Taking place June 21-29, 2020, the 2020 Poker Masters Online PLO was a high-stakes online PLO series with buy-ins from $5,000 to $50,000. The series was made up of 16 events, with the series leaderboard winner taking home the coveted Poker Masters Purple Jacket. Finland's Eelis Parssinen topped the leaderboard with 625 points to win the Purple Jacket, barely edging out Andras Nemeth and his 624 points.

Parssinen had six cashes, with one victory, two second-place finishes, and two third-place finishes among his in-the-money results. Leaderboard runner-up Nemeth and leaderboard third-place finisher Jens Kyllonen each won three events but their overall point totals fell just short of surpassing that of Parssinen.
