The LHPO $1,100 Deep Stack Six-Max Pot-Limit Omaha 8 tournament drew 60 entries for a tough field and talented final table. Ultimately, Max Neugebauer went wire-to-wire on Day 2 to capture the title outright for $20,855.

“That was the most fun I’ve had winning a tournament,” Neugebauer laughed after his win.

“Even more fun than winning €1.5 million?” his friend asked the reigning WSOP Europe Main Event champ. Neugebauer just laughed again and collected his trophy and winnings.
