2,483 Fire in $565 PLO: "It Was a Terrific Turnout"

After the huge success of the Colossus in 2015, many wondered how the World Series of Poker would follow up. It seemed all but assured the Colossus would return, but WSOP brass went a step further and added another $565 tournament, this one a pot-limit Omaha event.

The early returns? Event #12: $565 Pot-Limit Omaha was a success, according to WSOP V.P. of Corporate Communications Seth Palansky.

"It's a terrific turnout," he said.

At the close of registration, 2,483 entries were in the books for the inaugural event.
