The third and final day of Event #2: €550 Pot Limit Omaha 8-Max is is set to begin today at 1:00 p.m. local time here at the 2023 World Series of Poker Europe at King's Resort in Rozvadov. The nine remaining players are all guaranteed at least €5,200 but will by vying for the top prize of €65,900 and the second WSOP gold bracelet of the series.
Leading the field is none other than the reigning 2022 WSOP Europe main event champion Omar Eljach who starts today with 5,665,000 chips worth 113 big blinds, more than double that of any other player. Eljach will be looking to add a second bracelet to his collection in today's event, with his sole bracelet coming from last year's WSOP Europe main event victory.
Eljach is most closely followed by three-time bracelet winner Anson Tsang who bagged 2,760,000 to start the day today, worth 55 big blinds.
