    High stakes poker pro Jared "Harrington25" Bleznick and other poker superstars (like the host of this poker channel Phil Galfond) recently battled in the highest buy-in PLO tournament in the world, the $100,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl Pot Limit Omaha poker tournament hosted by PokerGO.
    Jared Bleznick put on a show for the PokerGO live stream in a variety of ways: Opening $1000 collectible card boxes in the middle of a hand, eating pizza at the poker table without any napkins, and making poker strategy decisions that only the best in the world could make.
    Please enjoy this poker hand compilation and analysis of the high stakes poker strategy involved, alongside highlights of Jared Bleznick’s fun table antics and table talk.
    This Super High Roller Bowl was the first time a Pot Limit Omaha tournament has had a $100,000 or higher buy-in!

    There were plenty of poker superstars to watch along with the subject of our video, Jared Bleznick.

    The Q7 check-fold on the turn against the turned set of K is just pure ownage. I have to say it is pretty impressive to sit and brag about you being the best in the world at this game, then showing your skills in practice in such a way.

    PS: I recently got it in with the nut straight on a bloated flop pot from a pre flop short stack getting it in... both of the other dudes calling beat me by hitting 6 outs combined between them. Fun game this PLO.
    PPS: At best Jared is up against AAJT and that hand has Q7 two pair crushed anyway, solid fold... people watching ought to know Chidwick was playing super tight and snug that whole table also... that downsizing just looks so strong after calling the flop.
