More Champions From PokerAtlas Tour At Resorts World Las Vegas

Only the main event has yet to wrap up at the 2024 PokerAtlas Tour stop running from March 7-18 at Resorts World Las Vegas. Nine of the ten champions have been crowned to this point, with only the $300,000 guaranteed $800 buy-in title still up for grabs. More than $865,000 in total prize money will have been awarded by the time the series has concluded, with nearly 2,100 total tournament entries made across the ten tournaments.

Make sure to check out our recaps of the $200,000 guaranteed $500 buy-in no-limit hold’em kickoff tournament and four other side events before continuing to our look at the latest winners below.

Event 4 – $400 No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty $150K GTD

The third-largest guarantee of the series belonged to the $400 buy-in no-limit hold’em mystery bounty tournament. Only the kickoff event ($200,000) and the main event ($300,000) sported larger guaranteed prize pools.

A total of 564 entries were made across the six starting flights that ran from Mar. 11-13, surpassing the $150,000 guarantee to create a total prize pool of $186,120. Of that, $129,720 was placed into the main prize pool while $56,400 was set aside for mystery bounty payouts.

The last player standing was Joseph Koreski, who earned $22,970 from the main prize pool after striking a heads-up deal with Doyoon Hyun (2nd – $20,760). This was the largest score yet for Koreski.

World Series of Poker bracelet winner Cole Ferraro finished third for $11,560.

Event 7 – $400 Omaha 8 / Stud 8

Nicolas Milgrom won the third and final non-hold’em event of the festival. The French-born player based out of Las Vegas overcame a field of 80 entries in the $400 buy-in Omaha eight-or-better and stud eight-or-better mixed tournament, earning $9,072 for the win.

This was already the third live tournament title of 2024 for Milgrom, who also took down two O8 events in February. He now has more than $206,000 in lifetime earnings after this latest victory.

$400 H.E.R.O.S. event winner Daniel Anton finished fifth for $1,650.

Event 9 – $260 No-Limit Hold’em $10K GTD

The final two events on the agenda for the series were a pair of $260 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournaments, each of which sported a $10,000 guarantee. The first drew 62 entries to end with a final prize pool of $12,710.

The top eight finishers made the money, with the largest share going to eventual champion Scott Sisler.

This was the second title won in 2024 for Sisler, who came out on top in a $250 buy-in at the Missouri State Poker Championship in late February for a similar payday. He now has more than $485,000 in career tournament earnings to his name.

Event 10 – $260 No-Limit Hold’em $10K GTD

The final tournament to get underway saw another 62 entries made at $260 each. The $12,710 prize pool was again split among the final eight.

Canada’s Justin Ouimette secured the top prize of $4,580 after defeating bracelet winner William Givens heads-up for the title. Ouimette grew his career earnigns to nearly $518,000 in the process. Just four days prior to this win, he took down a $600 buy-in event a bit further down the Las Vegas Strip.

Givens now has close to $3.2 million in lifetime earnings across 288 total cashes.
