Tonight’s evening tournament is Event #8, a $300 + $30 5-Card PL Omaha Re-entry tournament that got underway at 8:00pm.
This is a PLO tournament with a twist: players get dealt 5 cards instead of 4. Why 5 cards? Because the players love it! This game grew in underground clubs and kitchen games for years, but it’s finally ready for the big leagues. It is treasured by most PLO players as it provides more options for your hand. One can have a made-hand/nut-draw combo much more often, and it allows for crazy action to develop… at almost any moment!
The tournament is played 8-handed, like a regular PLO Event, and offers a 25K starting stack. Blinds increase every 20 minutes, and you can register (or re-enter) until around 9pm, the end of the break following level 4. It is a Re-entry Event, so players will most likely put those chips to work without fear.
