Here’s a look at some early action:

The $150 + $20 + $50 PL Omaha Bounty Re-entry is about to kick off at 8:00pm. The third event of the February Power Weekend features a guaranteed prize pool of $6,000 plus the bounty prize pool, depending on how many bounty chips players can collect.

Competitors will begin with a 25,000 chip starting stack and one $50 bounty chip. Players receive one bounty chip for each player they remove from the tournament. A bounty chip can also serve as an all-in chip. If one is included in any bet, that bet will be irrevocably maxed out, meaning the player will have to either bet the pot, or go all-in if the size of the pot allows it. This is an 8-handed tournament with 20-minute blinds. The final table will begin when nine players remain. Event #3 is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted during the late registration period. until the beginning of level seven. Re-entry is permitted for any player who loses all their chips or chooses to forfeit their stack.

Good luck to all players!
