When it comes to creative thought, the mighty Magyars have a rich history.
Erno Rubik created the Rubik Cube.
Imre Brody invented the Krypton Electric Bulb.
Laszlo Biro patented the biro.
And on Day 6 of the Poker Masters Online Series, another Laszlo from that neck of the woods used his creativity to carve out a $272,141 paycheck.
Laszlo Bujtas won Event #12: $10,300 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) 6-Max, making him the second Hungarian to win an event after the current Championship leader, Andras Nemeth.
You can find Bujtas banishing bodies throughout online poker rooms around the world trading his wares under the monicker ‘omaha4rollz.’ Bujtas has earned $4.2m playing online multi-table tournaments (MTTs), and this is his sixth six-figure score and the most substantial of the lot.
Bujtas wasn’t the only Hungarian make money in this one.
Nemeth extended his lead with his fifth in the money (ITM) finish of the series. Many have both the ability and the form to catch Nemeth, including Jorryt Van Hoof whose fourth-place finish is his fifth cash overall.

Luuk Gieles Wins Event #13: $10,300 NLHE 6-Max
If there was any penance after Luuk Gieles’ runner-up finish to Kahle Burns in Event #10 it’s over as the Dutchman cleared the cobwebs in time to take down Event #13: $10,300 NLHE 6-Max.
Gieles beat Timothy Adams, heads-up, to claim the title, and that means the Canadian becomes the first player to add six ITM scalps to his belt buckle. It’s his first six-figure score of the campaign, and he becomes one of the early favourites for the title.
Joining Adams in the race to catch the coattails of Andras Nemeth at the top of the Championship Leaderboard, are Alexandros Kolonias (5th score), Mike Watson (fourth), and Alex Foxen (third). Not amongst that bunch, but making his first dent in a Poker Masters Online event is Steve O’Dwyer, who finished ninth.
