Jour 1 a débuté
The 2021 World Series of Poker is set to play host to the largest buy-in of its kind, Event #53: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed). This 4-day tournament is a marquee event on many poker players' calendars and one that you won't want to miss.
In 2019, Stephen Chidwick topped the 278-entry field to capture his first WSOP gold bracelet. Chidwick outlasted the likes of James Chen, Robert Mizrachi, and Erik Seidel on the final table to take home the first-place prize of over $1.6 million. This high-roller event is bound to attract some of the biggest names in poker, including some players that specialize in pot-limit Omaha.
