The 2022 U.S. Poker Open high-stakes tournament series featured three pot-limit Omaha events. Dylan Weisman made the final table in all three, capping off his impressive run by taking down the biggest buy-in PLO event on the schedule. Weisman overcame a field of 49 entries in the USPO $25,000 PLO tournament on Mar. 26 to earn his second career live tournament title and the top prize of $416,500.
This was the largest tournament score of Weisman’s career, blowing away the $166,461 he secured along with his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the 2021 $1,000 PLO event at the series. The 30-year-old poker player, who coaches PLO on an online training site, now has $1,037,292 in career tournament earnings.
This was Weisman’s fourth final table through the first 10 events at the USPO. He kicked things off with a fifth-place showing in the $10,000 buy-in PLO event for $61,600. A couple of days later he finished fifth again for another $42,400. That was his lone cash in a non-PLO-exclusive event. The $10,000 big bet mix event included PLO, ho-limit hold’em, and no-limit deuce-to-seven single draw lowball. The streak continued when Weisman placed sixth in the $15,000 buy-in PLO event for another $60,300. All told, he has cashed for $580,800 so far at the USPO, and is currently in sixth place in the player of the series race.
Weisman earned 420 Card Player Player of the Year points for his latest win. His four POY-qualified scores have moved him into 82nd place in the 2022 POY race, which is sponsored by Global Poker. He also sits in 23rd place in the PokerGO Tour points race thanks to his impressive run at this series.
Day 2 of the $25,0000 buy-in PLO event began with six players remaining and Weisman in the lead. He had nearly twice as many chips as the next largest stack, which belonged to Cary Katz. Weisman had eliminated Chris Brewer in seventh place ($49,000) to bring day 1 to a close.
