Tollerene Closes Out Again

Tollerene added to his more than $16 million in Hendon Mob earnings as he topped a field of 62 players that included American crushers like Ben Lamb (5th - $116,250), Josh Arieh (6th - $85,250) and Jesse Lonis (8th - $62,000), Finland's Sipila and Joni Jouhkimainen (3rd - $217,000) and Switzerland's Fernando Habegger (7th - $62,000).

Tollerene may excel in Omaha, but what he really excels in is closing out a high roller series. Just weeks ago, inside the same PokerGO studio, Tollerene won the final event of the Poker Masters series, a $25,200 No-Limit Hold'em event that earned him $510,000.

Earlier this year, Tollerene finished runner-up in the WSOP $250,000 Super High Roller for a career-best $3.5 million.

Wantman Wins Series Title

Wantman secured the top spot on the series leaderboard by finishing seventh in the series finale for $10,080. The final table of Event #9: $5,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty also included Poker Hall of Famers Daniel Negreanu and Erik Seidel, while Anthony Hu took home the $70,560 prize and final title of the series.

Wantman ended the series ahead of overall PGT leader Jeremy Ausmus (420 points), Alex Foxen (378 points) and Negreanu (366 points), who won Event #6: $10,100 Pot-Limit Omaha for $265,200.
