Pot-Limit Omaha will take center stage at the PokerGO Studio for the month of October. The PokerGO Tour announced today the complete schedule for the 2024 PGT PLO Series II, along with dates and details for the Super High Roller Bowl: $100K Pot-Limit Omaha.
The fourth installment of the PGT PLO series will take place from October 14-22. The nine-event schedule represents a slight drop-off from the March series that featured ten events, but the slate will once again culminate with the $25,000 PGT PLO Championship. Previous winners of the prestigious event include: Lautaro Guerra (March 2023), Daniel Geeng (October 2023), and Seth Davies (March 2024).
The most significant change to the 2024 PLO Series II comes with the removal of the cap on reentries for all events, except for the PLO Championship, which continues to be a two-re-entry per player event.
As part of the 2024 PokerGO Tour slate, the PLO Series II will see players earn PGT points based on the amount of money cashed for in each event. The PGT points awarded during the series will also determine who is crowned PGT PLO Series II champion, which awards a $10,000 PGT Passport and the PGT Gold Cup.

Super High Roller Bowl: $100K PLO returns
The successful run of the inaugural Super High Roller Bowl: $100K Pot-Limit Omaha has encouraged the PGT to run it back. Jared Bleznick took home the top prize of $1,292,000, besting the field of 38 entrants to become the first-ever SHRB: $100K PLO winner.
There are several significant changes to the SHRB this time around. Notably, players can now register all the way up until the start of Day 2 play and levels have been decreased to 60 minutes.
The PGT shot clock will be in effect for the entirety of the event, with players having 20 seconds to act on their hand preflop and 30 seconds postflop. Time extensions are worth 30 seconds each, and each player starts the tournament with nine of them, which refresh at the start of Day 2 play. Players who make the final table will be granted an additional six time extensions.
Satellite opportunities
There are two satellite events planned for the PGT PLO Series II for players who want a chance to win their way into the events on the cheap side. On October 12-13, the two events will take place at the ARIA Poker Room. For the affordable price of $560, players can win their way into any of the first three PGT PLO Series II events.
On Wednesday, October 23, a $10,000 buy-in satellite will see players earn direct entry into the SHRB: $100K PLO. The event starts at 1:00pm PT in the ARIA Poker Room.
