Although pot limit 6-card Omaha is an unusual game variant, it proved popular on June 13 at the Wynn Summer Classic.
The festival's $2,200 6-Card PLO event attracted 92 runners, for a prize pool of $182,620.
This turnout meant the $100,000 guarantee was more than exceeded and that the top prize, after a two-way deal was cut still a healthy $45,967. This top prize went to Sameer Batra who made the deal with James Jagger.
Jagger earned $42,000 for his second-place finish.
