Already littered with PokerStars Sponsored Pro's, Event #39 just got a whole new crew of Team Pro's with late registration. David Williams representing the USA, Liv Boeree representing the UK, Humberto Brenes representing Costa Rica and Jorge Arias representing their Online Team have all sat down to test their PLH/PLO skills.
So far there are already 515 players registered for the tournament today. This has already beat registration from this tournament last year which topped out at 482 players. With late registration open through the end of level four, we'll surely see numbers continue to rise over the next couple of hours.
Pot-Limit Omaha has been gaining popularity in America over the past few years and this tournament is undoubtedly proof of that fact.
As level 2 began, a new wave of players were allowed to take their seats and start play. Among those players was Eli Elezra who might be difficult to recognize based on the fact that between yesterday and today he shaved his head.
Apparently he and Mike Matusow had a last longer bet in the $10,000 HORSE event and the loser had to shave their head. Elezra lost the bet and is now sporting the "Sinead O'Connor look."
