Event #48: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed)
Day 1 Started
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees the start of Event #48: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time, with late registration open for nine levels. There will be 15-minute breaks every three levels, with a 60-minute dinner break at the end of Level 9 (~6:40 p.m.). Players are permitted two reentries.
The starting stack is 20,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play 17 40-minute levels or down to 15 percent of the field, whichever is later. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 12 p.m. Wednesday, where level duration increases to 60 minutes. A winner will be crowned on Day 3.
Last summer, Stephen Nahm conquered the massive field of 2,071 entries and scored a double knockout on the final hand to win his first bracelet and the $267,991 up top.
“Every poker player, obviously, comes here—you dream of this shit, right? I kinda made my dream come true a little bit; I’m not going to lie.” Nahm told PokerNews after his victory.
2023 WSOP Main Event champion Daniel Weinman is also a previous winner of this event, reigning supreme in 2022.

Action picked up when a player raised to 300 from middle position and Jonathan England made the call from the button. The small blind also called, then the big blind three-bet to 1,600. The middle position player, England, and the small blind all made the call and the players went to a four-way flop of 7♥4♥5♠.
Action checked around to the J♣ turn, at which point the middle position player bet 4,000 and England made the call. The small and big blind folded and the dealer put out a A♠ on the river. The middle position player checked to England, who bet 6,500. After some consideration the middle position player found the fold.
Jonathan England final-tabled this event last year and seems poised to make another deep run.

Stephen Tanner was in the small blind when the player on the button raised to 600. Tanner made the call and the two were heads up to a flop of A♣7♦8♦. Tanner led out for 3,400 and after tanking the button said, "I need your hand here," referencing an earlier hand. The button open folded so Tanner turned over A♠A♦.
