Day 1 of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship Starts at 3 p.m.
Its another new day at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and with that, a new event is preparing to get underway.
Four-card aficionados are starting to get ready as Event 50: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship kicks off at 3 p.m. local time inside Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. The tournament is an apt four-day affair, with the winner being crowned on Saturday, June 24.
Sean Troha is the defending champion, having gone the distance last year. He defeated Shiva Dudani in heads-up play to claim his first WSOP gold bracelet and the $1,246,770 first prize.
The 2022 edition of the PLO Championship was the biggest in WSOP history and attracted a record attendance of 683 unique entries.
Troha has already tasted PLO victory this summer in Event #34: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha (pictured), where he took home the top prize of $298,192.
Can the player from North Olmstead, Ohio make it a hat-trick of PLO bracelets in just a year?
