Welcome to Day 1b of Event #2: €550 Pot-Limit Omaha
The second starting day of Event #2: €550 Pot-Limit Omaha will start at 2 p.m. local time here at the King’s Casino where the 2017 World Series of Poker Europe is being held. On Day 1a yesterday, there were 217 entries in total of which 33 players would be in the money and 13 of those players have advanced to Day 2. In 2015 this event had 503 entries so Day 1b needs to gather at least another 287 buy-ins to better that result.
The defending champion from the event in 2015, Barny Boatman, managed to cash yesterday but did not make it through to Day 2 so he will be back today to give it another shot. Ryan Hughes, John Racener, Chris Ferguson and Alex Foxen are all still in the running for the top spot in the 2017 WSOP Player of the Year so they will be back too. Other notables to be on the lookout for today are Phil Hellmuth, Felipe Ramos, Mike Leah, Pierre Neuville, Kristen Bicknell and Kenny Hallaert.
The players will play 18 levels of 30 minutes and the players will be in the money again today. They will be starting with 10,000 chips with registration open for the first eight levels and the 60-minute dinner break that follows. Unlimited reentries are allowed during that registration period.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to update you with all the action from the floor from start till end.
