Event 23 – $400 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha Plossus

The popular large field, lo-buy-in ‘Colossus’ event debuted at the live WSOP in 2015. The tournament has been a staple since then, with some changes made to the price point along the way. The event has also spawned a few spin, including a similar event featuring pot-limit Omaha instead of no-limit hold’em. This tournament, held both live and online, is lovingly referred to by many as the ‘plossus’.

The 2022 WSOP Online $400 buy-in plossus bounty featured a $1 million guarantee. With 3,850 entries made by the time registration closed, the final prize pool swelled to $1,144,287. When the dust settled, the last four-card warrior standing was Jose Castillo.

Castillo earned a total of $144,286 for the win, with $54,500 in main prize pool earnings and another $89,786 in bounty payouts. He also took home his first WSOP bracelet.

Other notables to run deep included Sergi Reixach (36th), Joseph Cheong (24th), 2016 WSOP main event sixth-place finisher Kenny Hallaert (22nd), and bracelet winner Nino Ullmann (18th).

Here is a look at the final table results:

Jonathan Therme came out on top in the end, earning his first gold bracelet and $75,620 in total prize money, with $36,600 from the main prize pool and $39,020 in bounty payouts.

Event 26 – $600 Double Chance NLH

Jans Arends came out on top in the $600 buy-in no-limit hold’em ‘Double Chance’ event, topping a field of 1,777 total entries to earn the largest share of the $ $1,012,890 and his first WSOP gold bracelet.

The poker pro from the Netherlands now has more than $900,000 in recorded tournament earnings to his name. This was his second-largest score in an event with full real-name results reported, trailing only the $181,174 he earned as the fourth-place finisher in the 2019 EPT Prague €25,000 high roller.

Arends had to contend with plenty of tough competition down the stretch, such as two-time bracelet winner Pete Chen (34th), 2022 EPT Prague main event winner Grzegorz Glowny (15th), Ren Lin (9th), bracelet winner and WPT champion Dylan Linde (3rd), and Andreas Christoforou (2nd).
