Pot Limit Omaha players are often overlooked when it comes to tournament poker. Not at partypoker where the PLO players have some incredible tournaments to get their teeth into: the PLO Daily Legends.
partypoker's Daily Legends tournaments have proven immensely popular for several reasons. They have reduced a late registration period and limited re-entries (usually just a single re-entry) which levels the playing field. They finish at a reasonable hour, too, without compromising the average stack size. They are genius really.
PLO Daily Legends follow in the same vein except they are all Omaha tournaments instead of hold'em. Buy-ins range from the $2.20 Forge and increase to the $55 Chieftain.
After nearly 5 hours of play, the WPT Weekender Final Day is now at the final table. All players are guaranteed at least $976, but there's $9,741 up top for the win.
Luc Van Der Beek is the leader right now with more than 41 million, compared to about 33 million for Matheus Almeida.
Here is a look at the players who have already exited the final table in the bottom third. David Carvell is out in front with almost 20 million chips and nearly $1,500 in bounties already.

| 7 | Ricardo Rocha | Brazil | $806 | $1,283 |
| 8 | Karl-Joonatan Mets | Estonia | $1,285 | $1,035 |
| 9 | Iurii Zakharov | Russia | $1,446 | $835 |
The registration desk is shuttered now for the first entry flight in WPT WOC Main Event, and they came ever-so-close to collecting $2 million on the day. A total of 390 entries put $1,950,000 towards the $5 million guarantee.
Luka Plenković leads the field right now with almost 2 million chips, and Day 1a will end when 59 players remain. Currently there are 154 players left in action, so there's quite of bit of play left in Day 1a.
The WPT Super $215 is down to the final nine players now with Chasan Koula in the chip lead. Everyone at the final table has collected at least some money in bounties so far, with Russia's Daria Krashennikova the big bounty hunter so far with more than $1,800 in knockouts so far.
Sebastian Sikorski is the current chip leader with 30 players left in WPT Grand. He has a bit more than 25 million, leading Eder Campana by almost 3 million. Play is in Level 22 with blinds at 150,000/300,000 and an ante of 37,500.
The WPT Super $215 is almost at the final table with just 11 players left. David Carvell is the leader right now on a stack of almost 11 million plus $1,025 in bounties. Just 24 players are left in WPT Super $530 with Maxim Mamonov leading the counts. The WPT Super $55 is down to 108 remaining, while the WPT Weekender Final Day has just 15 players left.
Registration is still open for Day 1a of the WPT WOC Main Event with $5 million guaranteed. There's been $1.9 million collected so far on 380 entries, but there is still about 20 minutes left to get into it.
The Daily Legends tournaments at partypoker have proven to be hugely popular thanks to their player-friendly formats. partypoker has slashed the late registration period, limited re-entries, and devised a structure that allows players to head to bed at a reasonable time without turning the tournament into a crap shoot.
Now is the time to try out some of those Daily Legends tournaments because partypoker has launched its Legend of the Week promotion that adds $60,000 worth of value to its Daily Legends schedule every week.
Legend of the Week sees you earn points for playing in selected Daily Legends tournaments from Monday through Saturday. Points are awarded for playing the eligible tournaments, but you earn far more by reaching a final table or by going all the way and becoming a Daily Legends champion.
The WPT Super $55 is playing down super fast, with just 158 of the original 2,561 entries still in play. They've been at it for more than 4.5 hours, but it's starting to play down towards the end.
