Side Event Action is Running
Level 12
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Both of the early side events are now running. The Pot Limit Omaha currently has 16 runners with all of them still playing their original stack. That puts €2,400 into the prize pool for now.
Across the room, the ladies have gotten into the unique #QueenRules event. Its poker, but not quite as we know it, since the queens in the deck outrank the kings in this game. That can make for some interesting hands, as 
is not a straight, but 
is. Currently 7 ladies are seated at the table, and they are all playing their original stack. Both early sides have on reentry allowed.
