There is probably none in the online poker world who hasn’t heard of Ben “Ben86” Tollerene and Laszlo “omaha4rollz” Bujtas. Both of them have built up reputations as one of the fearless and greatest high-stakes crushers.

Ben Tollerene, known as “Ben86” on PokerStars and “Bttech86” on Full Tilt, is widely regarded as one of the greatest PLO players of all time. His career began in 2007, and he quickly established himself as a winning force in both cash games and tournaments. With over a million dollars in online MTT winnings and many more in the super high-stakes cash games. 

Laszlo “omaha4rollz” Bujtas, hailing from Hungary, is equally well known. Famous for his hyper-aggressive style and unorthodox lines, Bujtas has consistently taken on the biggest names and the highest stakes. His online MTT scores exceed $3.5 million.

He’s celebrated for his fearless approach, regularly sitting at the toughest tables and challenging anyone willing to play, whether it is regular PLO or 5-card PLO. Bujtas’s live resume is equally impressive, boasting major titles and deep runs; his live tournament earnings exceed $8 million.

The $2,390,000 Showdown: Triton PLO Main Event

Although they are best known for their online battles, this time they were competing in a live tournament setting. The stage for their most recent clash was set at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Montenegro, at the $100K PLO Main Event. 

This event drew a record-breaking 93 entries, creating a staggering prize pool of $9,300,000, with the top prize of $2.39 million —the largest ever awarded in a PLO tournament.

The event attracted some of the best players, and the final table brought together poker icons like Phil Ivey, Dan Cates, and Artur Martirosian, alongside Ben Tollerene and Laszlo Bujtas.

  • Artur Martirosian – 5,675,000 (114 BBs)
  • Ben Tollerene – 5,320,000 (106 BBs)
  • Laszlo Bujtas – 3,920,000 (78 BBs)

  • Dan Cates – 1,180,000 (24 BBs)

Martirosian and Tollerene set the pace with commanding chip stacks, highlighted by Tollerene’s elimination of Jason Koon—a satisfying payback for a previous Hold’em head-up defeat at $150K NLH 8-Handed event, where Ben86 banked $3,437,344 for his second-place finish.

Phil Ivey bowed out in seventh place ($433,000) after running into Dan Dvoress’s full house. Sean Rafael claimed sixth place ($549,000) when Bujtas’s aces-up held strong; Dvoress exited in fifth ($702,000) at the hands of Tollerene’s flush; Dan Cates fell in fourth ($875,000) against Bujtas’s aces.

Bujtas won two big pots against Martirosian, eventually busting him for a third-place finish ($1,080,000).
The heads-up battle came down to Ben86 and omaha4rollz. Both players, veterans of countless online wars, brought their A-game to the live felt.

omaha4rollz: Recent High-Stakes Battles and Losses

While Bujtas’s runner-up finish in Montenegro reaffirmed his status as a PLO boss, his recent online sessions have not been so great. On CoinPoker, the premier destination for high-stakes crypto poker, omaha4rollz has been a fixture at the nosebleed $1,000/$2,000 PLO tables. 

In the past few weeks, Bujtas has faced off against anonymous pros like GucciNike, COHIBA, and NV22. Some of these sessions have seen omaha4rollz drop significant sums, including six- and seven-figure swings, and eventually lose more than $2 million.

Despite these volatile losing sessions, Bujtas continues to take on the biggest poker challenges and maintains his reputation as one of the greatest “PLO End Boss”.

Conclusion

The Triton Super High Roller Series continues to set the gold standard for live tournament poker, consistently delivering record-breaking fields, series prize pools exceeding $100 million, and an unparalleled player experience, along with great production. 

Meanwhile, the online arena is starting to bring back the feel of the good old days with CoinPoker emerging as the epicenter of high-stakes action, hosting some of the biggest Pot-Limit Omaha and No-Limit Hold’em games. I am sure we can expect to see many more million-dollar battles and swings in the future, and perhaps more heads-up battles between Ben86 and omaha4rollz.
