Level 1: Blinds 25/50
And now for something completely different…Pot Limit Omaha! This event appeared at the end of the 2017 Winter Poker Open, but this year has been moved to the first week.
Players get 15,000 chips to start and levels start at 30 minutes for the first ten, then increase to 40 minutes for the rest of the tournament. Late registration and unlimited re-entry are available until the start of level 9 (at least 8:30, or after the dinner break). This is a two-day event, so they’ll play until 18 players or about 2am, then bag up for the night. Day 2 begins at 12 noon Saturday.
