The S19 World Poker Tour World Online Championships on the partypoker is nearing the conclusion of the first full week of poker action. The two editions of the Opener are well underway whereas new tournaments are slated to commence as of August 20. That includes the two editions of the WPT Weekender and the Omaha Championship, which has three different tiers available.
Event #2 Omaha Championship
Four-card aficionados from all over the world will be tempted to showcase their talents this upcoming weekend. The high-stakes players have the $2,100 edition at their disposal, which features a guaranteed prize pool of $300k. In the $215 Mini Edition of the very same tournament, at least $75k in prize money will be awarded. The bargain $22 Micro Edition has a guaranteed prize pool worth $20k.
All three tiers will have four starting days including two slow flights on August 21 and 22, one regular flight on August 23, and a turbo heat two hours prior to the final day. The levels in the slow flights last 15 minutes each whereas the duration for the regular flights is reduced to ten minutes each. In the turbo heat, the blinds will go up every five minutes in the last-ditch attempt to secure a stack for Day 2. All three tiers will play down to a winner on Monday, August 23.
