![[user341012]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Event #49: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed kicks off today at 3 p.m. Viatcheslav Ortynskiy is the reigning champion of the event; he bested a field of 580 players to win his first gold bracelet and the $344,327 first-place prize in last year's WSOP. That final table also included bracelet winner Randy Ohel, who took third.
This uniquely-structured event is scheduled to last three days with Day 1 being held in the Amazon room at the Rio. For the $3,000 buy-in, players will receive 15,000 chips and levels will last 60 minutes. Late registration is open through eight levels of play and will close at approximately 12 a.m. Day 1 includes 10 levels of play with 15-minute breaks every two levels.

Loren Klein Going for Two in One Week?
Niveau 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Loren Klein won his second WSOP gold bracelet earlier this week in Event #41: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha for $231,483. His first bracelet came in last year's series when he took down the $1,500 Mixed Pot-Limit Omaha/No-Limit Hold'em event for a payday of $241,427.
Apparently, pot-limit Omaha is his game. Compared to the tournaments he won, the buy-in today is twice as much and there are fewer players at each table. We will see how Klein fares in this format. He is currently seated at a table with Mike Sexton to his immediate right.

The Defending Champion Takes His Seat
Niveau 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Viatcheslav Ortynskiy emerged victorious in this event last year, taking home $344,327 and his first gold bracelet for his efforts, and he's taken his seat today to make a run at back-to-back wins.
However, he's not the only PLO bracelet winner with his sights set on his second bracelet. Tyler Groth just won his first bracelet earlier this summer in Event #25: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, and he has recently joined the field as well.
Several more well-known players have also taken their seats recently in this event, including Andy Black, Bruno Fitoussi, Maxx Coleman, and Toby Joyce.
