PLO = Action

[user24788]

The mood in the poker room is quite festive as players are having fun with the rebuy format for the Pot-Limit Omaha event. Some players have a stack of black $100 Crown casino chips which they are waiting to put to good use.

The action should get a little more serious once the rebuy period ends. But for now, it appears that everyone is enjoying themselves.
