The 2024 Super High Roller Bowl Series at Merit Crystal Cove Hotel and Casino in Cyprus is soon drawing to a close. The highest buy-in pot-limit Omaha tournament of the festival wrapped up on Sunday, Aug. 25. Joni Jouhkimainen emerged victorious from the 27-entry field in the $51,150 buy-in PLO affair earning a career-best score of $526,900.
The bracelet winner from Finland now has $7,173,919 in career earnings, good for third all-time on his home nation’s tournament earnings leaderboard. Only Patrik Anotnius ($22.8 million) and Juha Helppi ($8.4 million) have cashed for more on the circuit.
This was Jouhkimainen’s first title of 2024. He was awarded 306 Card Player Player of the Year points and 316 PokerGO Tour points as the champion.
Only the top four finishers made the money in this event, with $1,323,000 in total prizes up for grabs. Gergo Nagy, who finished fourth in a $25,750 buy-in PLO event at this festival just a day earlier, placed second this time around for $431,100. The Hungarian now has more than $1.1 million in lifetime tournament earnings.
