Day 1a of $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Main Event Kicks Off at 2pm

The 2026 Onyx High Roller Series presented by Onyx Club continues today inside the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa with the start of the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Main Event, as Day 1a gets underway at 2 p.m. local time.

Boasting a massive $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, the PLO Main Event will attract some of the best minds from across the globe.

If the $10,000 PLO Opener is anything to go by, the Main Event is anticipated to generate one of the biggest fields and largest prize pools of the Onyx High Roller Series. The eventual champion will be flying home with a hefty seven-figure score to their name.

$25,000 PLO Main Event Schedule

Day	Date	Time	Blind Levels
Day 1a	February 9th	2 p.m.	40 minutes
Day1b	February 10th	12 p.m.	40 minutes
Day 1c Turbo	February 10th	8 p.m.	20 minutes
Day 2	February 11th	1 p.m.	60 minutes
Day 3 Final Table	February 12th	1 p.m.	Hands-per-level

Players start with 250,000 chips. Day 1a and Day 1b use 40-minute blinds, while Day 1c Turbo speeds things up with 20-minute levels. Each of the opening flights will play down to the money, with players needing to bag a stack to lock up a payout and move through to Day 2. Late registration is open until the beginning of Level 11, allowing plenty of time for those jumping in later to build a stack.

Once Day 2 begins and the field is in the money, the levels increase to 60-minute intervals until the final table. Play will be seven-handed, before switching back to a full-ring format at the final table, where a hands-per-level structure will be used until an eventual champion is crowned on Thursday, February 12.
