200 total entries were received for the tournament, with 140 individual players contributing to that cause. The $5000 Pot Limit Omaha tournament, the first scheduled event for the Series, kicked off on Saturday and the numbers were stunning. In Event #1 of the PGT Pot Limit Omaha Series, a massive number of players broke the record for the biggest prize pool in an under-$10,000 tournament under the PGT banner. This PLO series, however, is breaking these norms because of the different disciplines of Omaha poker. Usually, the PokerGO Tour has a rotation of about 80 players that hit the tables and…well, for lack of a better way to put it, shuffle money between each other.

Who is taking part in these tournaments is also noteworthy in that it isn’t your normal PGT denizens. Several different disciplines will be taken on over the course of the nine-tournament schedule. First, it is one of the few times (in this writer’s memory, anyway) where an entire schedule has been dedicated to the game of Omaha Hold’em. There are a few things that make this particular schedule of events special. For the first time, the PokerGO Tour opened the doors to a Pot Limit Omaha tournament schedule, and they’ve been rewarded with a monstrous outpouring of players showing their appreciation. S., then you’ll usually find that Pot Limit Omaha Hold’em is the game of choice. Texas Hold’em has been all the rage in the States for quite some time.
