In just over one hour from now as of 3 p.m. local time, the second Pot-Limit Omaha Event of the 2018 World Series of Poker gets underway at Europe's biggest poker arena, the King's Casino in Rozvadov. The half-way mark has already been reached and another coveted gold bracelet will be awarded in Event #7: €2,200 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed.

Day 1 of the tournament will feature a total of 15 levels of 40 minutes each and the late registration and unlimited re-entry period remains open for the first 12 levels until approximately 1 a.m. local time. There will be a break every three levels and a dinner break after the sixth level of the day.

All participants receive 40,000 in chips and the defending champion is local player Lukas Zaskodny, who defeated Allen Kessler in heads-up to earn the gold bracelet on home soil. Zaskodny has already been taking part in the festival and cashed in Event #3.
