Last Pot-Limit Omaha Event of the Year Set To Start
Welcome to our continuing coverage of the 2012 World Series of Poker. Today is Day 1 of Event 39, the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha. Last year, a field of 361 gathered for this prestigious event and when it was all said and done, none other than 2011 WSOP Player of the Year Ben Lamb was the last man standing.
This is the fourth and final pure Pot-Limit Omaha event left of the schedule, saving the biggest buy-in for for last. The champions this year include Vincent van der Fluit (Event 11: $1,500 PLO), Austin Scott (Event 26: $3,000 PLO), and Naoya Kihara (Event 34: $5,000 PLO Six-Handed). Today's field is likely to include them and guaranteed to draw some of the best in the game once again, so be sure to keep it here throughout the day for updates on all of the exciting action as it takes place.
Play is set to begin at noon local time, about 25 minutes from now, so we'll see you then!
