Details on the specific event and final-table action are covered in full over at PokerOrg, but the headline result adds another chapter to a career that has quietly become one of the most impressive résumés in live tournament poker.
Palma's Multi-Table Hustle
In a separate storyline that's drawing plenty of attention, Nick Palma made waves by simultaneously playing online while navigating his way to the final table of the prestigious $15,000 PGT PLO event. Multi-tabling across formats — online cash or tournaments on one screen while competing in a high-stakes live final — is a feat that demands extraordinary focus and stamina, and Palma's ability to manage both speaks to the evolving skillset of today's top poker professionals.
The $15K PGT PLO final table is a particularly tough arena. Pot-Limit Omaha at this buy-in level attracts some of the sharpest high-stakes specialists on the circuit, making Palma's deep run all the more impressive.
Why It Matters
- Anderson at 8 bracelets is a genuine landmark — for context, only a small group of all-time greats have surpassed that total.
- PLO's rise at the highest stakes continues; the $15K PGT PLO buy-in signals strong player-pool appetite for big-field mixed and flop-game events.
- Multi-tabling live + online isn't new, but doing it successfully at a major final table highlights how the lines between live and online poker continue to blur for elite players.
