Those who love a bit of classic Omaha are in for a treat as the €350 Irish Open PLO 6-Max – Single Re-Entry is set to begin. Lucky you!
Players will start with 30,000 chips and 30 minute levels but anyone who’s stepped foot in the fields of Omaha knows how quickly stacks can be decimated or spun up as variance wields its scythe with no remorse in this poker variant. With just that single rebuy allowed, players will have to use their chips judiciously if they intend to make a run at the title…
Last year’s winner was Paul Rigg, who collected €9,455 for his win. Perhaps we’ll see Paul back to defend his title but he’ll have to avoid all the usual Omaha pitfalls of wraps, draws, flushes and general Omaha mischief if he intends to make it back-to-back wins.
The fields so far this year have been impressive and we’re expecting another bumper field, so strap in and get ready for some Omaha madness. Release the Omaha krakens…
