Pot-Limit Omaha Event Begins at 5:00 PM
Today's evening event is the first non-hold'em event on the series' schedule at Horseshoe Hammond. This $580 Pot-Limit Omaha event features 12,000-chip starting stacks with a single re-entry available, if needed.
Last season, Kennii Nguyen had his breakout victory in this event, besting a field of 106 entries to claim his first gold ring. Nguyen is an accomplished hold'em player who splits his time between the local area and Las Vegas, and the surprise PLO win was good for close to $16,000 in cash, in addition to the hardware. He was eliminated earlier today in the Event #1 restart, so it seems likely he'll return today in defense of his title.
Here are the vitals for today's event:
- Players begin with 12,000 chips
- Levels 1-12 are 30 minutes apiece
- Levels 13-21 are 40 minutes apiece
- Late registration and single re-entry are available until the start of Level 9 (~9:30 PM)
- Day 1 concludes at the end of Level 13
