The 2017 World Series of Poker is in full swing, and the next tournament on the agenda is Event #25: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha. Last year in this event, high stakes cash game pro Sam Soverel topped a field of 1,106 entries to win $185,317 and his first gold bracelet.

Ten one-hour levels are on the schedule for Day 1, with 20-minute breaks every two levels and a 90-minute dinner break after Level 6 at approximately 5:40 p.m. Late registration will run through the dinner break and will end when level seven begins at about 7:10 p.m.

Faces in the Crowd
Niveau 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Late registration will remain open through the end of the dinner break in this event, so players are still walking into the Amazon room at a steady rate to take their seats. Among them are PLO cash game veteran Rick "Big Rick" Ellerman, media personality Joey Ingram, and Annee Ngo who is fresh off a deep run in the first PLO tournament of this year's WSOP, Event #18 $565 pot-limit Omaha, where she finished in 24th place.

Men "The Master" Nguyen in the PLO Field
Niveau 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
"They're all scary boards in this game!" said a player at Men "The Master" Nguyen's table as Nguyen pulled in a pot.
Nguyen laughed in agreement and stacked the chips on top of his stack.
The Vietnamese-American has two cashes to his name this year, the best of which was a 60th-place finish in Event #16: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed. He will be looking to add to his seven bracelets this year. The last time he topped a WSOP field was back in 2010 when he won the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship for $394,807.
