“I didn’t teach Phil anything,” is what Joel Harwood said in his winner’s interview after capturing the SHRPO Pot Limit Omaha/8 tournament.

He was speaking of Phil Hui, the significant other of his (poker superstar) daughter Loni, and a mix-game monster in his own right.

They may be teaching other some lessons all day long today. Hui entered the Big O tournament and drew a seat next Harwood.

Players in the Big O game are having a great time. There’s plenty of laughter in that part of the room and the five-card hi-lo game is keeping things loose and happy.

We have three players in the field who already picked up a SHRPO trophy this week. David Shmuel earned his third SHRP title late in the evening when he captured the $360 Pot Limit Omaha trophy.

At that final table and finishing in third place was Peter Walsworth. If “SHRPO POY” was a thing, Walsworth would probably be leading after the first week. Besides yesterday’s final table finish, he won the Omaha/8 tournament on opening day and followed that up with a fourth-place finish in the H.O.R.S.E. event.

Joel Harwood is a popular player in all of our events and the room was happy when he won the Pot Limit Omaha/8 title this past weekend.

Level 1: 25/50

We know a lot of people circled this tournament on the schedule when it was released. Big O is a popular cash game and now we’re bringing it to the major tournament side for the first time at 3pm this afternoon.

Big O is a Pot Limit Omaha/8 or Better variant but players are dealt five cards instead of the standard four. This really juices the action with more draws and bigger draws and the chips get in the middle in a hurry.

Big O participants sit down to 10,000 stacks and play 30-minutes levels throughout. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are open until the start of Level 9 at 7:30pm. They will continue to play it down from that point until we have our first ever SHRPO Big O champ.
