Event #82: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (6-Handed)
Day 1 Started
Welcome to Day 1 coverage of Event #82: $3,000 6-Handed Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2023 World Series of Poker. Players will file into Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas for a 2 p.m. start time in an attempt to build a stack to take into Day 2 as the end of the series nears with only a handful of bracelets left to be won.
Last year, Fabian Brandes outlasted a field of 719 hopefuls to claim his first WSOP gold bracelet and the $371,358 first-place prize money. The 2023 WSOP has seen an uptick in field sizes across the board but that has been especially true of the Pot-Limit Omaha events, so as the series inches closer to it's end, it wouldn't be at all surprising to see a huge turnout for this event.

There was an early position open by PLO specialist Dylan Weisman to 700. The action then folded to Michael Wang in the big blind who defended.
The flop landed 7♦8♣9♣ and action was checked to Weisman who continued for 1,000. Wang went into the tank for a moment before putting in a check-raise to 2,800.
Weisman thought it over but made the fold and Wang scores a small pot early with some well-timed aggression.

Ulch led out for 500 and only the big blind came along. On the 6♠ turn Ulch kept up the aggression with a bet of 1,500, and his opponent quickly let it go.

Action was opened to 700 from a player in middle positon. The cutoff called, the small blind called, and Tommy Le called in the big blind.
The A♣5♣3♠ flop landed and the small blind checked. Le quickly led out for 3,000. One by one the rest of the table folded.
Le scooped the pot to chip up early.
Le is widely regarded as one of the best live pot-limit Omaha players in the world with over $4,000,000 in live earning and two WSOP bracelets all coming from the great game.
