Four Card Fun Takes Center Stage at 2024 WSOP
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 sees the start of Event #48: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time, with late registration open for nine levels. There will be 15-minute breaks every three levels, with a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 9 (~6:40 p.m.). Players are permitted two reentries.
The starting stack is 20,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play 17 40-minute levels or down to 15 percent of the field, whichever is later. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 12 p.m. Wednesday, where level duration increases to 60 minutes. A winner will be crowned on Day 3.
Last summer, Stephen Nahm conquered the massive field of 2,071 entries and scored a double knockout on the final hand to win his first bracelet and the $267,991 up top.
“Every poker player, obviously, comes here—you dream of this shit, right? I kinda made my dream come true a little bit; I’m not going to lie.” Nahm told PokerNews after his victory.
2023 WSOP Main Event champion Daniel Weinman is also a previous winner of this event, reigning supreme in 2022.
