Christopher Costa Leads 2025 PGT PLO Series Event #5: $10,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Progressive Bounty

The 2025 PGT PLO Series continued from the PokerGO Studio at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada with Event #5: $10,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Progressive Bounty. The tournament drew 116 entries and Christopher Costa leads the final five players.

Costa doubled to become the chipleader late in the evening and then scored a huge double knockout to win a large number of bounties. He then eliminated two more players to end the night and will return to the final table with a monster stack of 63% of the chips in play. Costa leads a final table that includes Alex Foxen, Bruno Furth, Kamel Mokhammad, and Jordan Glazer. These five players will return already guaranteed $48,720, while all eyes will be on the $123,200 first-place prize in addition to the bounties, 236 PGT points, and the Event #5 trophy.

In this progressive bounty format, when you eliminate another player, you receive half of their bounty as a cash prize, while the other half goes towards increasing your own bounty.

The field of 116 entrants created a prize pool of $1,160,000. Forty percent of it was set aside for the bounties and the final 17 players earned a piece of the regular prize pool. Christian Roberts was the unfortunate bubble boy when he called for the rest of his stack with trip sevens and ran into a straight. Tomasz Krzesinski (17th), Bryce Yockey (16th), Cary Katz (15th), Dylan Smith (14th), Sean Rafael (13th), John Riordan (12th), Allan Le (11th), and Nacho Babero (10th) were among those to cash in the event.

Costa was then involved in a three-way all-in with Jesse Lonis and Richard Gryko. All the chips went in on the flop and Costa had the nuts with his flopped straight but had to fade a lot of outs. The turn and river bricked out and Lonis was eliminated in ninth place, while Gryko was gone in eighth place. The field then converged on a single table and Costa would knock out Dylan Linde in seventh place and Nick Schulman in sixth place before the remaining players bagged to return for the streamed final table.

Mokhammad picked up his fourth cash of the series through five events. Glazer and Foxen each notched their second cash, while Furth and Costa each grabbed their first of the series. Mokhammad, Glazer, and Foxen could move up to second on the series leaderboard with a victory, but Event #4 winner Chino Rheem will still sit atop the leaderboard in the race for the PLO Series champion Gold Cup and a $10,000 PGT Passport.
