Welcome Back to Day 2 of Event #19, the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Vannesa Selbst starts today as our big chip leader on 203,600 and holding up the rest of the pack is Ken Lairson on 7,600. No player can be discounted, though, as this is PLO and it's not uncommon to see triple-ups. The play was frantic yesterday and if it carries on in the same vein today we will be at our final table of nine in no time at all.

Cards are in the air as play gets underway.
