2025 PGT PLO Series Runs March 25 - April 5

The fifth installment of the PGT PLO Series will be the fourth series of the 2025 PGT season. The PGT PLO Series will run from March 25 to April 5, 2025, and will be held inside the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 11-event schedule is exclusively Pot-Limit Omaha events, with buy-ins ranging from $5,100 to the $25,300 finale. There are also four bounty events, and for the first time in PGT PLO Series history, there will be a Mystery Bounty event. The first nine events play down to the final six players, who will return the following day to conclude the event on PokerGO.com. The $25k finale will play twelve levels on Day 1, while Event #11 is a one-day event. All PGT PLO Series events are unlimited reentries, except the $25k Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, which remains at two reentries maximum.

The PGT shot clock will be active during the PGT PLO Series, with players having 20 seconds to act on their hand preflop, and 30 seconds postflop. Time extensions are worth 30 seconds each, regardless of which street they are used. In the $5k buy-in events, players will receive six time extensions before the first break, and four thereafter. In the $10k and $15k buy-ins, players will receive eight time extensions before the first break, and six thereafter. In the $25k finale, players will receive 10 time extensions before the first break, and eight thereafter. Additional time extensions are distributed to players in the money if the field reaches 71 entrants. The final seven players will also receive six additional time extensions.

New for the PGT PLO Series is an adjustment to the level lengths. Events #1 to #3 will be 30 minutes throughout the tournament. Events #4 to #6 will be 30-minute levels until the start of Level 13, where they will be increased to 40 minutes. Events #7 to #9 will be 30-minute levels until the start of Level 9, where they will be increased to 40 minutes. Event #10 will be 45-minute levels until the start of Level 9, where they will increase to 60 minutes. Event #11 will be 25 minutes throughout the tournament. Registration is open until the start of Level 9 in all events.

The PGT PLO Series is part of the 2025 PGT season, with players earning PGT points based on the amount they cash for in each event. The PGT points awarded during the PGT PLO Series will also decide who is crowned the PGT PLO Series champion and receive the $10,000 PGT Passport bonus and the PGT Gold Cup. PGT points accumulated throughout the PGT season will decide players' final position on the PGT leaderboard. The season-ending top 40 eligible players and select Dream Seat winners will qualify for the 2025 PGT $1,000,000 Championship, where the first-place prize will be $500,000.

Who Will Be Crowned the 2025 PLO Series Champion?

Previous PGT PLO Series champions include Lautaro Guerra (2023), Daniel Geeng (2023), Samuli Sipila (2024), and Matthew Wantman (2024).

Two previous champions, Guerra and Wantman, are among the favorites to win the 2025 PGT PLO Series. Both are expected to be in attendance while Geeng and Sipila are not confirmed to attend. Other favorites are local players, including 2024 PGT Player of the Year, Jeremy Ausmus, alongside Daniel Negreanu, Alex Foxen, Nick Schulman, Dylan Weisman, and Jesse Lonis. Players traveling to attend the PGT PLO Series include Josh Arieh, Bryce Yockey, Allan Le, and Ronald Kiejzer. They are all also among the favorites to contend for the series title.

Some players who will be looking to use the PGT PLO Series as a springboard to improve their position on the PGT leaderboard are Michael Moncek, Joao Simao, and Chino Rheem. Those three players are all in the top ten, with Moncek sitting fourth (702 PGT points), Simao sitting seventh (479 PGT points), and Rheem sitting eighth (422 PGT points). All three trail Joey Weissman on top with 907 PGT points.
