€250 PLO Masters
Level 1: 100/100
Entries: 33/33
The €250 PLO Masters kicked off with a field of 33 entries. This figure will continue to grow with players allowed to late register and re-enter for the first eight blind levels. Players start off with 20,000 in chips with blinds increasing every 20 minutes.
All Arjut, Antoine Degiorgio, Leif Iversen, Vakhtang Kavakhishvili, ACR Stormer Scott "Pokerbrahs" Kenyon, Bjorne Lindberg, William Lynch, Vallo Maidla, Sascha Manns, Stian Nostdahl, Coolbet streamer Ylva Thorsrud, Mark Vella, and Frank Visser are among the early entrants.
The Festival Series founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk is also in the field. Let's hope he lasts longer than he did on the first of the three bullets he fired in the Sviten Special yesterday as he lasted just one hand on each of his first two bullets. Franke had much better success in the evening when he took a commanding lead in the Cash Game Challenge after booking a profit of €6,300 (3,150 big blinds) in a €2/€2 pot-limit Omaha affair.
"How soft are all the fields?" Franke joked. "I am in the lead in the Cash Game Challenge while our Head of Photography Mairo Toom took runner-up in the Texas Knockout last night."
Franke has won PLO trophies before but never at The Festival Series where his claim to fame is winning OFC and Sportsbook events.
Best of luck to all the players!
