Beating a field of 448 other players in Event #57: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller, it was Ka Kwan Lau, a PLO specialist, who beat Sergio Martinez Gonzalez in the final heads-up, securing the largest portion of the $10,551,500 prize pool, a record for a Pot-Limit Omaha live poker event at WSOP.<\/p>\n<p>Recognized under his online nick \u2018kaju85,\u2019 Lau is a respected figure in both online and live PLO tournaments. Though born in Spain and holding a Hong Kong passport, he\u2019s an integral part of the Spanish poker community since his 2010 entry into live poker. His victory came two years after narrowly missing out on a gold bracelet in the same tournament.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative mb-10\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mirax.partners\/a5279d0cf\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mirax.partners\/a5279d0cf\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
