Pavlos Kasselouris recently took top spot at the Moneymaker Tour’s Palm Beach Kennel Club Main Event, distinguishing himself among a competitive group of 214 entrants. Competing in a $2,500 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament, Kasselouris not only earned his first major live tournament title but also walked away with a prize of $121,485. This win has elevated his total live tournament earnings to over $251,000, marking a notable point in his career as a former online poker streamer.
The tournament offered a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000, which was distributed among the top 27 finishers. The event attracted slightly fewer participants than needed to exceed the guarantee, missing the mark by nine entries.
Several well-known figures in the poker world made deep runs in this event. Notable among them were Athanasios Polychronopoulos, a two-time bracelet winner who finished 15th, and Ben Mintz from Barstool Sports, who came in 8th. Other significant finishes included Michael Jagroo in 5th place, Josh Kay in 3rd, and Ian O’Hara, who finished as the runner-up.
O’Hara’s performance is particularly remarkable considering his previous second-place finish at a $1,500 Moneymaker Tour main event held at the same venue in November 2023. His latest achievement brought his career earnings close to $4.2 million.
