The PokerGo Tour is currently hosting its Texas Pot-Limit Omaha Series at the prestigious Champions Club Houston. The series features 9 poker events, with three high roller tournaments, kicking off on November 23rd with Adam Henx winning the first high roller, and Curtis Muller clinching his first poker title in the second high roller. Below is a recap of the two high rollers.
Adam Hendrix Wins Event #6: $5,100 PLO High Roller 1
Adam Hendrix entered the final table with a short stack, but overcame it to win the Event #6: Texas PLO Roundup High Roller #1 $5,100 PLO, banking $51,750, and his sixth career PGT title. This win has now brought Hendrix’s live earnings to nearly $6.8 million.
The $5.1k buy-in pot-limit Omaha registered entrants of 23 players, which generated $115,000 in total prize pool. As the field whittled down, the final four shared the six-figure prize pool, with the winner receiving $51,750. The 23 fields were narrowed down to seven, forming the final table. Jose Rodriguez busted on the money bubble, as Josh Arieh’s straight beat his middle pair.
Orod Ashegh had the chip lead and held it through the final table. However, he busted out in fourth place after running into Hendrix’s flush. Ashegh picked up his first-ever PGT cash for $12,650. Josh Arieh rose through the chip stack after entering the table as the short stack, but he couldn’t get past 3rd place, collecting $18,400.
The heads-up began, where we see Hendrix and Rafael exchanging small pots, which eventually ended as Rafel went all in with a straight draw on the flop. But his outs failed against the pocket queens of Hendrix. Rafael locked up $32,200 for his runner-up finish.

Curtis Muller Wins Event #7: $5,100 PLO High Roller 2
Curtis Muller took down a field of 20 players to clinch his first-ever live poker title at the 2024 Texas PLO Roundup in Event #7: Texas PLO Roundup High Roller #2 $5,100 PLO, securing a payday of $54,000. Muller began his live poker journey in 2022, and after two years of play, he could finally secure his first poker title. He further pushed his career earnings over $200k.
The $5.1k buy-in saw a turnout of 20 entrants, building up a total prize pool of $100,000. The field whittled down to the final seven, in which we see Ravee Sundara (7th), Jim Collopy (6th), Phu Vo (5th), and Anthony Hu ran deep but failed to reach the cash, eliminating on the bubble, starting the three-handed play. Ky Nguyen was the chip leader in the three-handed play but lost his stack early on. And soon ran into the straight of Muller, to exist in 3rd place for $16,000.
The heads-up began with Muller almost holding a 5:1 chip advantage over Arthur Morris. Morris picked some big pots and even doubled up. But it didn’t last long, as both players went all in after a few hands. Morris had a straight draw, which was worthless against the top pair of Muller. Arthur Morris earned $30,000 for his 2nd place finish.
