It is time for one of the premier and most anticipated events of the 2022 World Series of Poker, Event #28: $50,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha which gets underway at 1 p.m. local time.
This premier four-card tournament is sure to attract all of the biggest names in the PLO world. Last year’s version of this tournament was one of the most memorable of the entire 2021 WSOP. 85 entries created a prizepool of more than four million and several big name players cashed; including Shaun Deeb, Scott Seiver and Ben Lamb.
It came to a head four-handed where fourth place finisher Alexander Peterson made a memorable talkative appearance on the live stream, where he appeared to be having all sorts of fun while playing for hundreds of thousands against two of the legends of the game, Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth.

The whole poker world tuned in in anticipation of a possible Negreanu versus Hellmuth heads-up battle, but it would be Jeremy Ausmus who somewhat spoiled the party. He took down the two giants to make a bigger name for himself and to claim his third WSOP bracelet.
The $50,000 entry fee garners a starting stack of 300,000. Players are allowed up to two re-entries if they choose, during the registration period which will last through twelve 40-minute levels until about 11:00 p.m. They will play fifteen levels before bagging up for the day; remaining players will then advance to Day 2 of this three-day event.
PokerNews will be there at Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas bringing you the action as this much-anticipated event is played out.
