Paresh Doshi's domination at the £200 poker.pro PLO was no joke. He skillfully eliminated Glenn Brown and Jason Glatzer, and his final table performance was nothing short of impressive. With a stacked field of 34 players, Doshi soared to the chip lead and never looked back.
In the early stages of the tournament, Jason Glatzer and Glenn Brown announced bounties on their first bullet. The prize was a poker.pro-themed gift basket featuring an exclusive hat, t-shirt, and water bottle. The action began, and Glatzer took his first blow from Dimitrov. Boyuan Xue led the chip count at the break with 47,000. JJ Hazan was in close pursuit with 40,500.
Hazan proved to be the tournament's head hunter, eliminating players left and right. He made top full house and even flopped trips to add to his chip lead. Glenn Brown quickly hit the rail after running his PLO aces into a flopped set by Doshi. Hazan held an overwhelming chip lead as of the first break with 162,000.
Ri-Karlo Handy carved out a name for himself, adding to his stack. Glazer and Hazan shared a few pots, setting the stage for their later showdown. Glazer doubled up in one of these pots, and Wichman continued his hot streak by turning trips to send his opponent to the rail.
With just nine players left, Wichman sat comfortably at 359,000. Mohamed Abu-Hassan, Doshi, and Glatzer all sat in close proximity with approximately 130,000 each. Wichman kept up the pressure, taking down a massive pot, and ensured the tournament wouldn't last much longer.
The final table was set with seven players, and Doshi sat with nearly 2/3 of the chips in play. With just a small advantage, he applied maximum pressure, and the tournament came to a close in no time.
