The second flight of the PLO-lossus, or Event #18: $565 Pot-Limit Omaha starts at 4 p.m. This is an unlimited reentry tournament that yielded a prize pool of over $1.2 million last year with 2,483 entries. Ryan Laplante won his first WSOP bracelet in this event and is the defending champion. He took the first-place prize of $190,328.
