Who Will Reach the Final Table in Event #52: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship?
Another record-setting Omaha Event at the 2019 World Series of Poker will play down to a final table today. Fifty players out of a massive 518-entry strong field remain in Event #52: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, and all eyes are set on the coveted gold bracelet and a top prize of $1,086,967.
The goal for the penultimate day at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino is rather easy: survive, bag up chips and return the following day to take a seat in the Thunderdome when the final table will be streamed on PokerGO to showcase the best PLO players on their way to determining a champion.
Up to 10 levels of 60 minutes each are scheduled for Day 3 with a break every two levels and a dinner break after the sixth level of play. The returning blinds will be 10,000-20,000 and three WSOP bracelet winners are at the top of the leader board: Daniel Alaei (1,985,000), Luke Schwartz (1,700,000), and Shaun Deeb (1,586,000). Schwartz late-registered before the start of Day 2 after his maiden bracelet win the previous night and made it through with the second-biggest stack to potentially make it back-to-back victories.
The competition will be tough as several big names and PLO specialists remain in contention such as Adam Hendrix (1,219,000), Dash Dudley (1,199,000), Joel Feldman (1,196,000), Will Jaffe (1,179,000), James Park (1,173,000), Andjelko Andrejevic (1,116,000), Patrick Mahoney (1,024,000), Jeremy Ausmus (648,000), Scott Bohlman (624,000), Mohsin Virani (579,000), Alexey Makarov (444,000), Ka Kwan Lau (391,000), and Ryan D'Angelo (300,000).
