Welcome to the first of the three non-hold'em events at US Poker Open here in the PokerGO Studio at the ARIA Resort & Casino. Action is set to kick off at 2 p.m. PST for Event #2: $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha, a tournament that had much success last year, gathering 64 of the best players in the world, all in the hopes to take down the first Omaha event of the series.
