The Big Wrap is Heaven for PLO Players at King's Resort on April 1-8
Many poker players are already battling it out in the WSOP International Circuit that started March 14 and runs through April 1 at King's Resort, located on the German border in Rozvadov, Czech Republic.
Many of these players will likely stay another week at King's Resort with many pot-limit Omaha enthusiasts joining them with the casino hosting the inaugural The Big Wrap on April 1-8.
The Big Wrap features two big pot-limit Omaha tournaments with combined guarantees of €1.2 million. To put this into perspective, this is more than the WSOP International Circuit €1,700 Main Event guarantees for no-limit hold'em players.
€200,000 Guaranteed Warmup
The festival kicks off with a bang with players competing for a share of at least €200,000 guaranteed in The Big Wrap €550 Warmup PLO on April 1-5. The three opening flights with players starting with 30,000 in chips and blinds increasing every 30 minutes will see plenty of players bagging chips.

Players will enjoy a deeper structure of 45-minute blind levels for the final two days of play on April 4-5.

The tournament is an eight-max affair with players starting with a stack of 100,000 in chips and blinds increasing every 40 minutes during the two opening flights on April 5-6.
Players can reenter up until the end of the late registration period that closes after the conclusion Level 14.
