2020 WSOP Online: Helppi, Lim and Lofberg Win PLO Bracelets

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) continues to run unabated on GGPoker without a DDoS attack in sight.

Phew!

We have three Pot Limit Omaha games to bring you up to speed on, and the high stakes fraternity endowed the final tables of all three with their presence.

We start with the 328-entrant Event #35: $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha, and Juha Helppi procured his second bracelet after beating the Spaniard Jesus Cortes, heads-up, to claim the $290,286 first prize.

High stakes stars littered the final table like spelling mistakes in my articles pre-Grammarly inspection with Mike Watson (4th), Jens Kyllonen (5th), Yuri Dzivielevski (6th) and Sergio Reixach (7th) all bowing down to Helppi.

It’s the second successive bracelet win for Helppi after taking down the $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship in 2019 for $306,622.

Here are the final table results.
