$360 Big O (Re-Entry)
Structure
Level 1: 50/100

We loaded up the Lucky Hearts Poker Open series with plenty of non-hold’em games and today is a recent addition to our regular schedules. Big O is a flavor of Omaha that has become popular and we’ll have a champion in the game later this evening.

Big O is Pot Limit Omaha 8 with five hole cards instead of the normal four, boosting draws and pots.

Each entrant will start with 12,000 stacks and all levels will last 30 minutes from start to finish. Late registration and re-entries are open until the start of Level 9 at 7:30pm. From there they will continue to work their way down to a winner and next LHPO champion.
