Ha on the Hunt for a Second Title at the Winter Poker Open
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 500 ante
As Day 1c of the PLO Championship progresses, it's worth mentioning that the players Monday evening are chasing the impressive stack of Day 1b chip leader Thai Ha, who bagged a massive 940,000 chips in his opening flight on Sunday.
Ha will have a great chance at taking home this event's title on Tuesday, which would go nicely with his earlier triumph, as he won the first event of the series on Friday, the $400 Monster Stack.
Ha took home the trophy and the $21,000 first-place prize after a deal was struck four-handed.
