The Spaniard was the inaugural PGT PLO Series champion and is swiftly off to a promising start in the fourth installment of the PGT PLO Series. Guerra leads a final table with Sean Troha and Josh Arieh not far behind in chips, while Johnson Phanyaseng, Christopher Costa, and Jonathan Little round out the returning players as the clear short stacks. These six players will return already guaranteed $38,750, while all eyes will be on the $178,250 first-place prize, 178 PGT points, and the Event #1 trophy.

The field of 155 entrants created a prize pool of $775,000 and the final 23 players earned a piece of it. Finland's Santtu Leinonen was the unfortunate bubble boy when got his short stack in and fell to Guerra. Nick Schulman (20th), Anthony Zinno (18th), Nacho Barbero (17th), Philip Shing (14th), Dan Shak (11th), David Coleman (9th), and Allan Le (8th) were among those to cash in the event.
