It was late last night (or early this morning depending on how you look at it) when the remaining players in yesterday’s $400 buy-in pot limit Omaha ring event elected to move the restart up to 1pm. So it is as the seven left are set to get back in their seats in about 20 minutes to bet and raise their way to a gold ring.

The tournament drew 102 entries generating a $33,660 prize pool. All still in are assured $1,388 with the winner’s share good for $10,099 and a gold ring.

Cory Blum

The only Omaha tournament on the schedule is drawing a nice group of players. They recently returned from their 30-minute dinner break and registration is open for another hour with the $25,000 guaranteed prize pool already in the rearview mirror.

There are some tough players in the 80+ entry field including September Coco WSOPC Pot Limit Omaha champ Cory Blum. He conquered a 59-entry field to win his first WSOP Circuit ring.

There will no easy sailing in this tournament either. Other notables in the game include Phil Hui, Justin Sharpe, Leif Force, Arkadiy Tsinis, and Nick Yunis.

We will revisit the PLO game once registration is closed and we have the payout information.
