Overview
- Nathan Gamble won the $10,000 Pot‑Limit Omaha Hi‑Lo Championship on Friday, taking $767,395 and becoming the only player in WSOP history with three PLO8 bracelets.
- The event drew 390 entries to create a $3,627,000 prize pool that paid 59 players, making Gamble’s score the largest live cash of his career.
- Justin Liberto finished second for $511,580 after holding a dominant chip lead for much of the event before Gamble overtook him late in play.
- Gamble said years of online and live PLO8 repetitions gave him instinctive reads and stack‑play knowledge that decided key pots, and he plans to use the win to pursue more high‑buy‑in mixed‑game events.
- A parallel WSOP storyline remains unresolved: Jean‑Robert Bellande held the chip lead at the Event #32 final table and will resume play with 81 big blinds, a run that could push his lifetime live cashes past $5 million if he wins.
