For those who like their side events with a few more combinations of cards, this evening’s €150 Pot Limit Omaha Deepstack is the perfect tournament. With 20,000 starting chips and 20 minute levels (until the end of late registration after Level 8, when they drop to 15 minutes), PLO players can now take a refreshing tournament break from the apparently neverending cash games on the far side of the cavernous RDS.
Before the start of play, this event had over 50 entrants registered, and will undoubtedly be a bigger, better version of most of the previous Irish Open incarnations of €150 PLO events, if the Championships already held this week are anything to go by.
