Welcome to Day 1 of Event #6: €5,000 Pot Limit Omaha
The 2023 World Series of Poker Europe here at King's Resort in Rozvadov continues today with Event #6: €5,000 Pot Limit Omaha — a high buy-in event that is sure to attract top talent from across Europe and beyond.
The €5,000 PLO event is relatively new to the WSOPE, having only been added to the schedule in 2021. Maximilian Klostermeier won the inaugural tournament after besting a 184-entry field for €204,010. More recently in 2022, Roman Verenko claimed the gold bracelet after outlasting a 223-entry field and defeating Omar Eljach heads-up for the €247,288 first-place prize.
