The last of three opening days in the Champions Club Winter Poker Open $1,100 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship is set to go Wednesday evening here in Space City.
Through the first two opening flights over the weekend, 15 players have advanced to Tuesday’s final day of action which will award the $150,000 guaranteed prize pool to those survivors. The final 12% of Monday’s Day 1C will join them.
Thus far, just over two-thirds of that prize pool has been built with 119 entries over the first two days of play, and another solid turnout, Wednesday will send it past the guarantee.
Ethan Bennett of Day 1a still sits in the lead with his impressive 700,000 stack, but last night's leader Nan Liu is close on his tail with 672,000.
As with the first two flights, play is scheduled to get underway at 4 p.m. local time with blinds of 100/100 and 40,000 starting chips. Levels will be 30-minutes long with a 15-minute break scheduled every four levels.
Registration and re-entry remain open until the start of Level 9 at approximately 8:30 p.m. Final prize pool and payout details will be available once play is completed, along with the Day 2 seat draw.
