There are 13 players registered so far and a few are sitting but the cards aren't in the air quite yet. The TD for the tournament said the players will be back to try to start at 1 p.m.
Up until now, everything you've seen on PokerNews about PokerStars Championship Barcelona has been Texas Hold'em coverage, but that's about to change.
It's time for the beautiful game of four-card poker, centered around the coverage of the €10,300 PLO High Roller. The PLO High Rollers always attract an interesting and fun crowd, with multiple high-stakes online PLO cash regulars populating the field in Monte Carlo, along with the usual cast of high rollers.
Today's field will likely depend heavily on the whims of fate as far as the Main Event goes, with about half of entries for that tournament still live. As players are eliminated from that, some will likely hop into PLO.
The plan for today is to get through 14 levels, each lasting 45 minutes. That will likely get the field to a final table, or close to it. Each player gets 50,000 in starting chips and may reenter up to one time. Things begin at 100/200 and will progress to 2,000/4,000.
Cards are scheduled to fly at 12:30 p.m. local time here in Barcelona, so stay tuned here for all of the PLO action.
