Day 1 of the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Set to Begin at 2 p.m. PT
Welcome to the first of the three non-hold'em events at US Poker Open here in the PokerGO Studio at the ARIA Resort & Casino. Action is set to kick off at 2 p.m. PST for Event #2: $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha, a tournament that had much success last year, gathering 64 of the best players in the world, all in the hopes to take down the first Omaha event of the series.
Last years champion was Mike Gorodinsky, who bested a star studded final table to take down the first USPO Omaha tournament for the title and a first place prize of $179,200.
