Everybody Loves a BOMB Pot! Brand New Event Starts at Noon
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
At noon today, Event #24: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot, a brand new event for the 2025 WSOP, shuffles up and deals at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. In 2024, a similar event that saw players alternate between No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha proved so popular that the WSOP has added this PLO variant into the mix.
Cards are in the air from noon in this three-day event, with entrants starting with 25,000 chips. Each player must ante every hand, and a double board bomb pot occurs every hand. Day 1 is scheduled to play 15 levels, each spanning 40 minutes, or until 15% of the field remains, whichever is later. Two reentries are permitted during late registration, which closes at the end of Level 9 and the subsequent dinner break (~7:30 p.m.). Fifteen-minute breaks are scheduled every three levels, with a 60-minute dinner break penciled in for the end of Level 9 (~6:30 p.m.).
Surviving players return to the tables at 12 p.m. on June 7. Levels extend to 60 minutes, and the plan is to reduce the field to only five players. Those five players return to the action on June 8 at a to-be-decided time.
