The 2017 WNYPC $15,000 Guaranteed $300 PLO Starts Now!

Welcome Back to PokerNews' continuing coverage of the 2017 Western New York Poker Challenge.

Today we shine the spotlight on the great game of Pot-Limit Omaha with the $15,000 Guaranteed $265+$35 PLO Re-Entry Event #7.

It's four cards instead of two. Two cards must play at showdown and the limit is always the pot.

It's a single-day event and the levels are 30-minutes each. Players get 20,000 chips to start and can enter and reenter freely, all the way up to the start of Level 9. PLO tournaments have no antes.

Like a lot of card rooms across this great country, here at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, PLO cash plays higher than Hold'em. That means the best of the best in Western New York all have a great grasp of four-card poker and should to turn up to chase this title.
