The Weekend Preview

GGPoker is the place to be this weekend if you are a fan of being dealt four hole cards instead of two because the Omaholic Series kicks off on March 14 and does so in style.

Event #1: Omaholic Hundred Stack is an $840 buy-in pot-limit Omaha event that has a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. Everyone sits down armed with 100,000 chips, hence the Hundred Stack in the tournament’s name, and plays to a 12-minute clock where the blinds start at 250/500/75a. Cards are in the air from 4:10 p.m. GMT on March 14.

Now, $840 is a lot of money to pay for a single tournament, especially a PLO event where the variance is on the large side. So what if we told you it is possible to win your way into the $840 Omaholic Hundred Stack for only $10?

$10 buy-in Step to Event #1: Omaholic Hundred Stack $840 satellites run on March 14 and feed into the $100 buy-in satellites where up to five seats are guaranteed to be won.
