Jonas Kronwitter Wins 2026 Pgt Plo Series

Jonas Kronwitter finished atop the 2026 PokerGO Tour Pot-Limit Omaha Series leaderboard after a consistent eight-event run built on two victories, five total cashes, and $576,088 in earnings.

The Austrian closed the series with 598 leaderboard points, putting him 222 points clear of Sam Soverel, who finished second with 376. Soverel added two titles of his own during the schedule and extended his record PGT title total to 17.

Across the full series at the PokerGO Studio, the eight events drew 542 entries and generated $5.48 million in prize pools.

Kronwitter’s Five-Cash Path to the Series Title

Kronwitter’s leaderboard win was not built on a single result. He opened with a runner-up finish in Event #1, then added ninth-place finishes in Event #2 and Event #4 before winning Events #5 and #7.

Those two victories accounted for $469,163 of his total series earnings. In Event #5, the $10,500 PLO tournament, Kronwitter defeated Richard Gryko heads-up and collected $201,600.

He followed that result by winning Event #7, the $15,700 PLO tournament, where he received $267,563 after a heads-up deal with Joni Jouhkimainen. Jouhkimainen earned $215,062 for second place.

The combination of repeated final-stage finishes and two high-value wins gave Kronwitter the strongest overall profile in a points race spread across the full schedule.

Soverel Adds Two Wins and Extends His PGT Record

Sam Soverel made an immediate impact by winning Event #1, a $5,300 PLO tournament with 91 entries. The victory paid $122,850 and gave him the first title awarded in the series.

He added another win in Event #6, the $15,700 PLO Mystery Bounty, for $250,000. That total included $160,000 from the regular prize pool and $90,000 in mystery bounties.

With those results, Soverel pushed his record PGT title count to 17. Kronwitter and Soverel together won four of the eight events, giving the top two players on the leaderboard half of the series titles.

Garcia Takes the $26,000 PLO Championship

The largest buy-in event on the series results sheet was the $26,000 PLO Championship. The tournament drew 48 entries and produced a $1.2 million prize pool.

Cesar Garcia won the championship and collected $420,000, a result that helped him finish third on the overall series leaderboard. Robert Cowen placed second in the championship, matching his runner-up finish in the $15,700 PLO Mystery Bounty.

Garcia’s championship win gave the final event a distinct winner while leaving Kronwitter’s aggregate performance secure at the top of the series standings.

Eight Events Produce a Deep PLO Results Sheet

The series also featured several winners beyond the top two leaderboard finishers. Robert Chorlian won Event #2 for $135,150, securing his first PGT title. Roussos Koliakoudakis won Event #3 for $198,000.

James Chen took Event #4, the $10,500 PLO Quattro Bounty, for $239,000 including bounties. Lautaro Guerra recorded four cashes during the series and finished with $302,725 in PGT earnings.

Kronwitter’s two wins and five cashes ultimately defined the leaderboard race, while Soverel’s two titles and record-extending 17th PGT win supplied another major storyline from the 2026 PGT PLO Series.
