$1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Kicks Off Today!
We're minutes away from starting Event #22: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha. This will be a triple chance event where players begin with 1,500 in starting chips but are offered two 1,500 add-on's that they will be able to take at any time. This will add an exciting bit of strategy early on, as some players will choose to take their add-on's immediately to have a bigger stack, while others will use their add-on's as insurance if they lose a big hand that would have normally sent them to the rail.
Last year, this event received 885 entrants for a prize pool totaling $1,194,750. The gold bracelet and $256,919 was awarded to Tex Barch, also known for his third-place finish in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event. Barch defeated a final table where bracelet winners Nenad Medic and Blair Rodman were present.
Play begins at 12 PM PT so stay tuned for all of the most up-to-date coverage! Be sure to check out our June 13th update from the dazzling poker ninja herself, Kristy Arnett.
