Poker pro Jared Bleznick just took down the first-ever PLO Super High Roller Bowl event on the PGT Tour and he earned a whopping $1.292 million for his win.
This was a STACKED final table with Isaac Haxton, arguably the best tournament poker player in the world at this moment in time, having a commanding chip lead. Haxton had a stack of 4.495 million chips while the rest of the table hovered between 800K chips and 1.9M chips. It was Haxton’s tournament to lose at that point as he already has 5 cashes in 2023 for over $1 million.
Alas, the PGT’s first-ever PLO Super High Roller Bowl was Jared Bleznick’s tournament all along. We should have known this when he used his time bank cards, which players typically use when they need time to make big decisions at the table, but he used it to open $1K Panini America One and One boxes of cards. And he did that while another player was all-in!
Every poker player knows that time extension management is a crucial part of tournament play. @harrington25 uses his time extensions to break two boxes of @PaniniAmerica One and One's. #SportsCards pic.twitter.com/v3027dWNpA

I’ve typically written about Texas Hold’em Poker here on BroBible in the past. That’s because Hold’em is the most popular form of poker in the world. But for my money, Pot-Limit Omaha is HANDS DOWN my favorite game. The amount of action you give and get in Omaha is unmatched.

They were three-handed at the final table for six grueling hours. Steven Chidwick, one of the best Omaha players on Earth, finished in 3rd place for $570,000.
Jared Bleznick Makes PGT and Poker History With Inaugural Win
While this was the first-ever $100K buy-in PLO Super High Roller Bowl from the Poker Go Tour it was also the first ‘inaugural’ and it will certainly be back in the future.
The $1.292 million cash represents the biggest cash of Jared Bleznick’s professional live poker career, according to the Hendon Mob database.
In 2013, he won $526,625 for a 2nd place finish in the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha (Event #61) at the World Series of Poker. He also won $342,626 at the 2022 WSOP $50,000 Pot Limit Omaha High Roller – 8-Handed (Event #28). Suffice it to say he’s a shark at the Omaha table.
