After the final river card hit in Event #3: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, Nacho Barbero stood tall and proclaimed, "You can't stop the Year of Nacho!" It very well could be Barbero's year and he just added a PGT PLO Series title and $234,000 in prize money to his 2023 success.
Barbero topped the field of 130 entries to claim the title. He now has more than $2,900,000 in live tournament winnings this year, according to TheHendonMob.com. The victory also put Barbero on top of the PGT PLO Series leaderboard with 234 points.
Barbero came into the second and final day with 950,000 in chips. That accounted for just 5.8% of the chips in play and had Barbero sitting in last place with seven players remaining. Barbero was offered 7-to-1 to win from Sam Soverel, took the action, and then went on to finish in first place.
Along the way to the winner's circle, Barbero eliminated Josh Arieh in sixth place, Eelis Parssinen in fourth place, Adam Hendrix in third place, and Jonas Kronwitter in heads-up play.
