The 2022 World Series of Poker $1,500 buy-in pot-limit Omaha bounty eight-max even attracted a total of 1,390 entries, building a prize pool of $1,855,650 that was paid out among the top 209 finishers. After three days of exciting four-card knockout action, Pei Li emerged victorious, earning $190,219 in prize money and his first gold bracelet for the win.
This was Li’s second recorded live tournament victory, with both coming in PLO events. Li’s previous win saw him top a field of 246 entries in a $600 CAD buy-in event at the 2022 WSOP Circuit Calgary series, earning $22,763 USD for that title run. He now has more than $220,000 in recorded tournament earnings to his name.
Plenty of big names made deep runs in this event, including two-time bracelet winner Connor Drinan (24th – $5,668), bracelet winner Ankush Mandavia (19th – $6,835), bracelet winner Maxx Coleman (12th – $10,316), John Riordan (11th – $12,906), and bracelet winner Diogo Veiga (9th – $10,316).
