Thi Truong Wins 2020 World Series of Poker Online $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha

The 2020 World Series of Poker Online $1,500 pot-limit Omaha event attracted a total of 972 entries to build a $1,385,1000 prize pool. Enrico Camosci, who won the $2,100 buy-in no-limit hold’em bounty event earlier this series, made it all the way down to heads-up play with a chance to become the second player to win two bracelets during this series. It was ultimately Thi Truong who emerged victorious with the title, though, earning $215,938 and the coveted gold bracelet for the win.

Camosci earned $165,414 as the runner-up finisher. The Italian has now cashed for $517,433 accros nine in-the-money finishes this series, including the $327,319 he earned for taking down the bounty event in early August.

The final table of this event began with Truong sitting in the chip lead, with recent WSOPO $800 pot-limit Omaha double stack winner Frank Crivello in second chip position. Germany’s Johannes Toebbe was the shortest stack and ended up being the first to hit the virtual rail. He got all-in with bottom pair and plenty of live cards and backdoor outs on a J74 flop holding KQ104. He was up against the AKJ9 of Truong. Both players made two pair on the K turn, but Toebbe’s kings and fours were second best. The 6 was of no help and Toevve was eliminated in ninth place ($17,533).

High roller regular Sean Winter was the next to fall. The 2014 Card Player Poker Tour bestbet Jacksonville main event champion got the last of his stack in with pocket kings up against the pocket aces of Dante Goya. Winter picked up some outs to a straight on the flop with his side cards, but the turn and river kept Goya ahead. Winter earned $24,160 for his eighth-place finish in this event.

Frank Crivello’s run in this event was also ended with pocket kings. Crivello got all-in on a 854 flop agter having committed the majority of his stack preflop with the KKQ3. He recieved a call from Truong, who had flopped a set of fours with the 6644. The J turn gave Crivello a flush draw, which the 8 on the river completed. That card also paired the board, though, giving Truong a winning full house and the pot. Crivello cashed for $33,293 as the seventh-place finisher.

WSOP bracelet winner Kyle Bowker got his last chips in preflop with AQ104. The American ran into the AAJ5 of Brazlian poker pro Joao Simao. The aces held and Bowker bowed out in sixth place ($45,877). Laurynas Levinskas found a double-suited pair of tens with connected cards and went with it. He got action from Camosci, who had been dealt double-suited pocket kings. The larger pair remained the best hand by the river and Levinskas was sent packing in fifth place ($63,218).

Simao fell to the bottom of the chip counts during four-handed play. He eventually went with the AQ65, three-betting the button open of Truong from the small blind and then calling all-in for slightly more. Truong held the KJ107. The board ran out 87263 and Truong’s pair of sevens was enough to send Simao home with $87,113 as the fourth-place finisher.

Dante Goya committed his final chips with QQ99 and found himself up against the KJJ3 of Truong. The AK10 flop gave Truong the best pair and a royal flush draw. The Q on the turn improved Goya to a set, but also completed Truong’s straight. The 5 on the river locked up the pot for Truong and Goya was eliminated in third place ($120,041).

With that Truong took just shy of a 2:1 chip lead into heads-up play with Camosci. The final showdown only lasted a matter of minutes. The two got all-in on a 10428 board. Camosci held the 9653 for a massive straight draw, with and ace, three, five, six or seven able to improve him to a straight. Truong showed AA88 for eights and fours with pocket aces on the side. The river brought the 2 to improve Truong to aces and twos for the win. Camosci was awarded $165,414 for his runner-up showing.
