USPO #6 - $25,000 PLO
Day 1 Started
This is not the first PLO event of the series, but it will be the highest buy-in to hit the schedule for such an event. Expect the best four card players in the world to take a seat today for Event #6: $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha at the PokerGo studio just outside of the ARIA Resort & Casino.
One player you will definitely see making an appearance is the ever so hot Sean Winter, who is currently sitting in first place with 440 points towards the USPO championship race.
Winter has had an almost unimaginable start to the week, having final tabled the first four, yes four, of the events. He will be looking to add to the lead in the biggest PLO event of the series. Also look for 2018 USPO champion Stephen Chidwick and Event #2: $10,000 winner Jordan Cristos to battle it out today for those much needed points to surpass Winter in the race for the title.
