2026 Pure Poker Tour Series #3 – Event #12: $1,100 PLO Main

In just over 2 hours, Sebastian Crema has eviscerated the field to take home the PLO Main Event trophy. He overcame the 66 player field to take home the first place prize of $21,113. The event generated a $62,073 prize pool, with eight players finding a cash.

Bustouts were rapid, as Ross Wilson and Colten Yamagishi fell early into the first level of Day 2. Day 1 chip leader Aaron Chuley was next to fall as his double suited aces couldn’t improve against Crema’s flopped two pair. With this pot, Crema took an overwhelming chip lead holding 60 percent of the chips in play.

Jimmy Lee found the next elimination when him and Joyce Funk both flopped two pair. Both Lee and Samho Ngai had around 400,000, while Crema had approximately 2,500,000. Crema caught a flush on the river to bring play heads-up between himself and Lee. Heads-up was short lived as Lee moved all in. Crema snap called and revealed a set to dominate Lee’s two pair. Lee couldn’t improve as it seemed Crema was destined to take down this event.
