A new event at the World Series of Poker is almost underway with Event #84: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller. Day 1 of the two-day tournament kicks off at 3 p.m. Pacific Time as the 2021 WSOP reaches its tail end.

Players will begin with a starting stack of 300,000 with blinds at 300/500 with a 500 ante paid by the big blind. Because the game is pot-limit, the ante only counts as part of the pot after the flop.

Day 1 will play for 17 40-minute levels with 15-minute breaks every three levels. Late registration will remain open for 12 levels. Day 2 will start up on Saturday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. and will play down to a winner, who will earn the lion's share of the prize pool and bracelet glory.

The high-roller PLO tournament is anticipated to attract world-class Omaha specialists and some of the top names in poker.

Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team is ready to bring you updates on the PLO action. Be sure to check out the team's coverage of other WSOP events in the meantime.
