Event 3 - £5,000 Pot Limit Omaha Day 1 | 2008 World Series of Poker Europe

It's time to raise the ante a bit, as the big boys and girls return to the Empire for Event 3 -- a £5,500 Pot Limit Omaha tournament scheduled to kick off today at 3:00 p.m. local time (10:00 a.m. EST). Essentially a $10k buy-in event, we've reached our second-to-last dot on the WSOPE schedule, as well as our second-to-largest.

The prizepool typically climbs high when the world's best Omaha players get together and we expect nothing less here today. Guys like Robert Williamson III, Dario Alioto and Marty Smyth who are known for their Omaha prowess should all be in attendance this afternoon, along with 'The Bear,' Barry Greenstein, Layne Flack and the always entertaining Phil Hellmuth.

Coverage begins at 3:00 p.m. local time. Omaha fans, you don't want to miss this!
