Lithuanian Captures WSOP $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Max Title

In addition to his first WSOP gold bracelet, Klezys also secured the top prize of $280,214. This was the second-largest score of his career, trailing only the $491,840 he earned as the fourth-place finisher in the 2023 WSOP Europe main event. Klezys now has four final-table showings in bracelet events, the the more than $900,000 he’s earned across 56 WSOP cashes accounting for the majority of his nearly $1.5 million in recorded cashes on the live poker circuit.

Plenty of big names were among the 209 players to earn a share of the $1,837,260 in this shorthanded PLO affair, including the likes of World Poker Tour champion and recent Millionaire Maker third-place finisher Joshua Reichard (24th), $25,000 no-limit hold’em high roller event runner-up Andrew Ostapchenko (9th), bracelet winner Jose ‘Nacho’ Barbero (8th), 2022 Wynn Millions champion Tony Sinishtaj (7th), and WPT champion Darryll Fish (6th).

Klezys knocked out Fish to narrow the field to five, then proceeded to eliminate each of his remaining four opponents on his way to claiming the title. He held nearly a 6:1 chip lead going into heads-up play with Jonathan Hanner.

In the final hand, Hanner got all-in preflop with A♦J♦10♦9♠ facing the A♥Q♥Q♠Q♣ of Klezys. The board came down 10♥4♥3♠6♠8♥ and Klezys made the nut flush to take the pot and the bracelet. Hanner earned $186,732 as the runner-up.
