It's Time For Some Pot-Limit Omaha!
The 10th event of the 2020 GGPoker WSOP Online Super Circuit will be starting up shortly, and for the first time in the series, the game is not No-Limit Texas Hold'em. In this event, players will be getting four cards as opposed to two, as Pot-Limit Omaha is the name of the game!
In addition, the buy-in is up there for this one, at an even $10,000, with a prizepool of at least $1 million up for grabs. Some of pokers biggest names are already in the field, including Fedor Holz, Felipe Ramos, and Thai Ha, and there should be plenty more big names joining the field throughout the day.
The action will start up at 4 PM Eastern Time, and Pokernews will be here until the end to bring you all of the updates!
