Seneca Fall Poker Classic $300 Pot-Limit Omaha Starts Now!
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Pot-Limit Omaha is often played in some of the biggest home games across Western New York. Plus, when PLO cash games run inside the Niagara Falls Poker Room at the Seneca Niagara Casino & Resort, it represents some of the best action in the room.
It's a popular game out here, so home-game heroes and PLO experts from near and far are expected to join the usual group of local tournament players for the 2017 Seneca Fall Poker Classic $300 Pot-Limit Omaha event beginning at 1 p.m. local time today.
The event comes with a $15,000 prize pool guarantee, but organizers are expecting a field of 80 entries or more to crush that.
The tournament will kick off with 20,000-chip stacks and blinds at 50/100. Blind levels are 30-minutes and registration and unlimited reentry is available until the start of Level 9. As a traditional PLO tournament, there will be no antes from start to finish.
It's time for a little four-card poker and PokerNews will be on hand for all the action, from the call to shuffle up and deal until a 2017 Seneca Fall Poker Classic $300 Pot-Limit Omaha champion is crowned. Stay tuned.

Omaha! Omaha! Hut!
Level 2

Cries of Omaha! Omaha! fill the room as a replay of Peyton Manning in Super Bowl 50 plays on ESPN Classics in the background.
Also, it's Pot-Limit Omaha day at the Niagara Falls Poker Room and all the best players from near and far will be doing it with four cards instead of two today, playing the great game of PLO.
Things start slow with the board reading just 20 players to start Level 2, but registration and re-entry is open until the start of Level 9 and a number of late comers are expected.
Here's a list of some of the players who turned up early ready to roll:

The Gift of Giving
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
The holiday season is fast approaching and Mark Roberts is in a giving mood already.
After handing Chris Molica the chip lead with his first bullet, he's put Nick Peperone on top of the counts with the second one.
Roberts had bottom set versus top set again, although this time they both flopped it and Roberts had an open ended redraw. He missed that and Peperone now has a double stack.
Roberts was down to peanuts on bullet number two and considering a third. As Level 3 started he was seen ringing that re-entry bell again.

The Michigan Man
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Local rounder Chris Meyers has been running pretty good...in Michigan.
Six months ago he finished fifth in the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) event at FireKeepers Casino In Battle Creek, MI. At the time, it was the largest poker tournament in Michigan state history.
Last month they broke the record drawing an even bigger field to FireKeepers and Meyers returned to climb the ladder more than a little. In fact, he captured the title.
He banked $191,196 in the process, and took the lead in the MSPT Player of the Year race, which offers heaps of cash in buy-ins next season. To help secure the title, Myers will be travelling to MSPT stops in Wisconsin and possibly Minnesota before the end of the year.
But for now, he's back home in Western New York and looking to crush this PLO event in his home poker room.
