Registration is now closed in Flight 1A of the PokerAtlas Title Event here at Texas Card House here in Houston. This flight drew 107 entries, which is a monster for a first flight in Texas where a lot of players wait to play later flights. There will be eight flights total between tonight and day two, which will be on Monday May 25th. The event looks like it will far surpass the $500,000 guarantee and generate a monster prize pool.

The No-Limit High Roller event drew 26 entries, with some big names battling for the Atlas trophy, but the biggest name of them all, 2024 WSOP Main Event Winner Jonathan Tamayo, won the cash and the trophy. Tamayo earned $24,120 and the Atlas trophy after besting the field late in the evening.

Tamayo has won over twelve million dollars lifetime, with ten million of it coming from the main event win. His tournament career has spanned twenty years, with significant cashes as far back as 2006, and a runner up finish in a bracelet event in 2008.

The No-Limit High Roller event started heads up, but players started rolling in soon after, with Pho 'Bad Boy' Vu the third entrant and 2024 Main Event Champion Johnathan Tamayo as entrant number four. By the end of late registration there were twenty-six entries and a very nice prize pool of $58,500. The field is full of crushers, and we expect the battle to last late into the night.

Event #21 - $250 Double Board PLO Bomb Pot — Wrap Up

The Double Board Bomb Pot event delivered nonstop multiway action as the field swelled to 84 entries and pushed the prize pool to $12,600. With registration closed and the guarantee comfortably cleared, the night turned into a battle of nerve and board reading, as players were forced to make big decisions without the usual preflop roadmap.

When the dust settled, Jesus Carrillo emerged as the champion, outlasting a deep and lively lineup to claim the title and a $3,215 first place payout. Carrillo stayed composed through the variance heavy structure and consistently found the right lanes as pots ballooned across two boards.

Eric Crews finished runner up for $2,445 after a strong run that kept him in contention late, while Tucker Stone rounded out the podium in third for $2,210. It was a night defined by swingy pots and constant pressure, and Carrillo handled the format’s chaos best, converting the big field into a well earned win.

The win is the largest of Carrillo's career by a significant margin. Carrillo started playing tournament poker fairly recently and only had around a thousand dollars in tournament winnings before this event. Congratulations Jesus, we look forward to seeing at more final tables in the future.
