Seidel, Lamb, Lonis and Winter Winners at PokerGO Tour PLO II Series in Las Vegas

The PokerGO Tour Pot Limit Omaha Series II is now taking place in Las Vegas, and there are some familiar names who already found trophies and joined Alex Foxen as recent winners.

Eric Seidel still got it

Eric Seidel has been in the Poker Hall of Fame for 15 years, and at the age of 65, may be playing poker better than ever. Seidel won his first PGT of 2025 at the PLO II series in Event #3, a $5,100 buy-in contest which attracted 143 punters who generated a prize pool of $715,000.

Seidel took home $171,500 of that. John Riordan won $103,700 for coming in third, and Sean Winter, who would go onto win Event #5, finished third for $75,100.

Seidel is $1.5 million in tournament cashes away from breaking the $50 million lifetime mark. Not bad for a rap-loving white boy from NYC.

Here’s how the final table looked:

Jesse Lonis doesn’t lose

Here’s something Captain Obvious would declare: Jesse Lonis is really good playing in PGT events. Since Sept 24, he’s finished in the top 10 in six of them — one of those being a win in the first event of the PLO II series.

Lonis was the last man standing of the 146 players who put up $5,100 to kick-off the series. The dude simply knows how to make the money in events, particularly high-roller contests where the fields rarely exceed 150 players.

He’s having a 2025 to remember: Nine wins for more than $10 million in cashes, which puts him near the top of every Player of the Year list out there, including the big one, the Global Poker Index, where he currently sits only a dozen points behind Artur Martirosyan.

The final table was packed with superstars, including Josh Arieh, who just won his seventh World Series of Poker bracelet online. Here were the top six:

Ben Lamb breaks through

Ben Lamb picked up another $292,500 for winning Event #4, a $10,100 event that pulled in 117 entrants. The $1.1 million generated was the first million-dollar pool of the PLO II series.

It’s Lamb’s first win of 2025. His next deep run will most likely push his lifetime tournament winnings total over the $20 million mark. Sean Winter made his fourth final table of the series in the event on his way to the top of the series’ leaderboard.

Here’s who made the final table:

Sean Winter going for series champion

Sean Winter made four final tables in the first five PLO II events of the series, and he broke though in the best way in Event #5, a $10,11 PLO progressive bounty contest that attracted 106.

Winter won the $122,300 top prize as well as $155,000 in bounties for a grand total of $277,300. He now has more than $36 million in tournament cashes. Here’s the final table results:

With five event to go in the PGT PLO II series at the Aria in Las Vegas, he is the front-runner to win the title of series champion. That comes with a PGT Gold Cup trophy and a $10,000 PGT Passport. Here’s the current leaderboard.

The PGT series runs until Oct. 24, before slipping seamlessly into the Super High Roller Bowl series that runs until Oct. 29. After that, it’s North American Poker Tour events from Nov. 3-10.
