Past Champions & History
Daniel Zack was victorious in last year’s event. The American had eight previous cashes at the 2025 WSOP, before he took down this event to secure the fourth bracelet of his career.
"No, definitely not," was Zack’s response when he was asked if PLO was his strongest game. "I think I get made fun of in the mixed cash games I play for my PLO play by far the most. So, if anything, I would say everyone back home would say it was my worst game."
