$1,500 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed Starts Today
While the last few days of the World Series of Poker schedule has been rather Hold’em heavy, with much of the attention centered around the opening days of the Main Event, fans of four-card games return to Bally's and Paris Las Vegas Saturday, July 9th for Day 1 of Event #74: $1,500 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed.
