Jared Bleznick Wins Round 1 of High Stakes Duel 5 for $100,000
The PGT Mixed Games 2024 continued at the PokerGO Studio from ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday with Event #6: $10,200 Triple Draw Mix. The tournament drew a field of 47 entries and leading the final four players is Jerry Wong.
Wong is atop the chip counts with 3,625,000, more than half of the chips in play. He is followed by John Hennigan with 1,555,000, Scott Lake with 1,080,000, and Max Hoffman with 785,000. These four players will return on Tuesday already guaranteed $49,350. Up top for the winner is the $164,500 first-place prize, 165 PGT points, and the Event #6 trophy.
The field of 47 entrants created a prize pool of $470,000 and the final seven players earned a piece of it. Brian Yoon just missed out, busting on the money bubble in Badugi when his three-card eight couldn't hold, or improve, against Wong's two-card two, which became a three-card three on the final draw. Philip Sternheimer (7th), Hal Rotholz (6th), and Felipe Ramos (5th) fell shortly after the money was reached.
This marked Wong's second cash of the series and a win would vault him toward the top of the series leaderboard. He won't claim the top spot, as that is currently occupied by Hennigan who is already guaranteed to add to his total. A victory would give Hennigan a solid lead with four events remaining. Hoffman, meanwhile, currently is eighth on the leaderboard and could overtake Hennigan on top with a win and a Hennigan third or fourth-place finish.
The Event #6 final table resumes at 12 p.m. PT on Tuesday, March 5th.

2 | Max Hoffman | United States | 785,000 |
3 | Jerry Wong | United States | 3,625,000 |
4 | John Hennigan | United States | 1,555,000 |
When play resumes, Level 17 will begin with 40:00 minutes remaining. The betting limits will be 60,000/120,000 and there are two more hands left in Badugi. Play will resume at 12 p.m. PT.
