The sixth gold bracelet of the 2024 World Series of Poker Europe at King’s Resort in Rozvadov now has a new owner: Dennis Weiss of Germany. Weiss triumphed over a star-studded field of 141 four-card enthusiasts to win Event #6: €5,000 Pot Limit Omaha, earning his first WSOP bracelet.
Weiss takes home the €159,897 first-place prize from the €629,565 prize pool after defeating fellow German Amir Mozaffarian in a brief heads-up battle that spanned over one level. This marks Weiss's biggest career score by tenfold and boosts the PLO specialist's lifetime tournament earnings to over $200,000.
Second-place finisher Mozaffarian would have to settle for €103,092 to line his pockets while the final position on the podium went to Nikola Minkov of Bulgaria, who added €68,791 to his bankroll.

Winner's Reaction
Weiss said he hadn't quite processed the fact that he had won a bracelet and achieved a goal he had been hoping for.
"I just haven't processed it yet I think. Of course I'm good, I'm great, I'm happy. It was a goal I really wanted to achieve and I am looking forward the next one."
The German said he mostly plays Pot Limit Omaha or 5-card Omaha but does try to jump into mixed games when he gets the chance.
"I mostly play PLO, mostly 5-card. I like mixed games, so If I get a chance to play some other mixed games, I always do like at the WSOP for example. However, I've never been really successful, so it's nice to finally get something."
Weiss spoke about his plans for the rest of his time here at the WSOP Europe, he said, "I don't think there's much more going on. I don't play hold'em like at all, two cards just aren't enough."
Final Day’s Action
When the 38 survivors from Day 1 returned to the felt this afternoon, they were all within striking distance of the €10,506 min-cash. It took only 90 minutes of play for the field to whittle down to hand-for-hand, with the likes of two-time bracelet winner Maximilian Klostermeier, Gabi Livshitz, Dario Alioto, and Tomas Ribeiro making their way to the rail empty-handed.
Of the 23 players remaining, one more would be leaving with nothing. Hand-for-hand lasted for 24 hands, before the defending champion Wing Po Liu who would ultimately be the one to bust. Liu got it in good with top set, but a heart on the river gave Weiss the nut flush. While it was heartbreak for Liu, it was relief for the rest of the field, who had officially made it into the money.
With everyone having earned some euros for their hard work, the field quickly began to thin. Players like Omar Eljach, Lars Brodin, Markus Lehner, Hokyiu Lee, and tournament PLO first-timer Sebastian Mortensen were among the first to vacate the tournament area post-bubble.
Andreas Krause had already made a final table at the 2024 WSOP Europe, but it wasn’t meant to be this time. The German, who had been grinding a short stack all day, fell just one place short of his second final table, finishing in tenth at the hands of Kronwitter.
The final table began with Weiss as the chip leader, though Jonas Kronwitter was close behind. Weiss extended his lead even further after flopping a straight and extracting three streets of value from Kronwitter.
Within the first orbit of play, Bulgaria’s Fahredin Mustafov was the first to exit in ninth, running his kings into the aces of Weiss. Not long after, Vakhtang Javakhishvili of Georgia followed in eighth place, unable to crack Minkov’s aces when he went all-in preflop.
The other Georgian remaining in the field, Vazha Kometiani busted next when he got his short stack into the middle preflop with kings, but an unfavorable runout saw Mozaffarian send him home in seventh. Poland’s Krzysztof Magott managed to ladder up a few pay jumps but ultimately had to settle for sixth.
Despite entering the final table second in chips with a healthy stack, Kronwitter was the next to head to the cashier's desk, finishing in fifth. His unfortunate seat position against Weiss kept him handcuffed from the start of the final table. Ultimately, the cards didn’t favor Kronwitter either, as his final hand saw him run into the aces of Mozaffarian.
Finishing just shy of a podium finishing was Romania's Victor Dota at the hands of Mozaffarian. Minkov took the bronze position on the podium after he got it in good with aces, only for Weiss to turn trips and send him out the door in third which meant the start of heads-up play.
When heads-up play began, Weiss held a 2:1 chip lead over his countryman and quickly extended it to 8:1 thanks to his relentless aggression. After just twenty minutes, Weiss got his chance to clinch the title as Mozaffarian put the last of his chips into the middle on the flop behind. A clean turn and river for Weiss ensured there would be no miracle comeback for Mozaffarian, and Weiss became the well-deserved owner of a WSOP bracelet.
That concludes the PokerNews coverage of Event #6: €5,000 Pot Limit Omaha; stay tuned throughout the 2024 WSOP Europe at King's Resort for continuous up to date coverage.

Victor Dota got his final 1,000,000 into the middle preflop with Amir Mozaffarian being the player trying to send him to the cashier's desk.
Victor Dota: Q?Q?9?9?
Amir Mozaffarian: A?K?K?2?
Dota needed to find a queen or a nine as he was behind to the kings of Mozaffarian. The 7?2?5? flop didn't change anything, as the A? turn meant Dota had four outs going into the river. The 6? river wasn't one of those outs and he was out in fourth.
