Welcome to the $600 Pot-Limit Omaha Event; Bumper Crowd Expected on Day 1
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today's Event #33: $600 Pot-Limit Omaha DeepStack (8-Handed) will be getting underway soon here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.
The event starts at 10 a.m. and players can register (or use one of their two re-entries) until the end of Level 12 (expected to be around 5:00 p.m.). Players receive starting stacks of 30,000 and play will continue for 22 of the 30-minute levels. There will be a 20-minute break every four levels and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 16 (about 7 p.m.).
Day 2 will resume at 11 a.m. on June 13 with play continuing until a winner is declared.
Last year's edition of the event was massive, attracting 3,200 entries and generating a prize pool of $1,632,000. From that huge field, one man emerged victorious. Joseph Altomonte won the event, his first ever WSOP bracelet success, after beating Michael Holmes heads up. His achievement earned him a $217,102 payday and an entry in the WSOP annals.
Thrilled by his victory, Altomonte told the press, "It's a dream come true, you don't even understand."
