David Shmuel

The Pot Limit Omaha 8 tournament is continuing the trend of great turnouts for our non-hold’em games. We have 47 entries in the first hour and will most likely top the 97 we drew for this tournament last year.

David Shmuel ran well in the 2017 tournament. The Hollywood regular booked his first major SHRP trophy last year and followed that up with another RRPO title a week later. Shmuel’s won another tournament this past August in the SHRPO Pot Limit Omaha game for three trophies in less than a year.

After four straight days of one-day non-hold’em games, we took a little break on Sunday but return today with another. Event 9 is a $360 buy-in Pot Limit Omaha 8 tournament that will once again attract our players who enjoy this variant of the game.

They will start out with 10,000 stacks and all levels will last 30 minutes. Late registration is available until the start of Level 9 at 4:30pm with re-entries allowed during that time should anyone bust out. There is a dinner break schedule at 6pm and they will return to play down to the PLO8 champ later in the evening.

Cards fly at noon and we expect another fun, competitive tournament.
