Isaac Haxton has emerged as the winner of Event #5, the $15,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Progressive Bounty at PGT: PLO Series II. As the first rank, he took home the $169,740 first-place prize, plus a whopping $214,000 in bounties. The American poker player took all bounties at the felts except one. The event saw some incredible poker play, with some of the most popular players in the fray, including Bryce Yockey, Joe Serock, Joni Jouhkaminen, and others.
Place | Name | Cash |
1 | Isaac Haxton | $169,740 + bounties |
2 | Ben Lamb | $169,740 + bounties |
3 | Alex Foxen | $95,940 + bounties |
4 | Joe Serock | $70,110 + bounties |
5 | Joni Jouhkimainen | $51,660 + bounties |
In the end, Haxton came into heads-up play with Lamb, and he made quick work of him. Their play lasted for only two hands, as Haxton’s top pair became rivered trips. This led to the final bust of the event and Haxton’s win, much to the joy of Haxton and the fans of the game.

With the tournament having several series lined up to November, it remains to be seen how many other poker players end up in the winners’ list and ship events.
Haxton is popular in the poker circuit not just for his prowess at the felts but also as a brand ambassador and promoter of the game. In 2018, he was signed up as a Partypoker ambassador. With his recent winning ways, it remains to be seen if he will sign up with other poker entities as their brand ambassadors. In 2023, he was eighth on the All-Time Money List, which was headed by Bryn Kenny with more than $65 million. Isaac, to his name, had $45 Million in poker winnings. In 2023, he was third in the list of most cashes at the Triton Poker Series.
