Poker Masters Online PLO Series: Cochrane, Sonnert and Szecsi Feature Prominently

As if the high stakes world didn’t have enough options on their smorgasbord of multi-table tournament (MTT) action Poker Central and partypoker cut the ribbon on the Poker Masters Pot-Limit Omaha Series on Sunday.

God’s day of rest saw 426-entrants hold amiable and crude conversations in the chat boxes of four shuttered virtual rooms, and there were a few names worthy of mention.

The biggest single purse went to Marcello Marigliano, who won the 72-entrant Event #1: $10,300 for $249,053.76. Gavin Cochrane finished runner-up in that one, and Cochrane also finished sixth in the $5k event. Norbert Szecsi also featured in two final tables, finishing third in both. Not to be outdone, Bengt Sonnert finished runner-up in two, losing out to Erik Dahlberg in the $1k, and Boris Angelov in the $530.

There was also a win for the former PocketFives World #1 Andras Nemeth. The Hungarian conquered a field of 81-entrants to win the $126,686.43 first prize in the $5k, beating the in-form, Viktor Blom, heads-up, for the title.
