This mixed game brings together a five-card draw and five-card Omaha, making it a favourite for many players.

No problem — you can switch it again, just once more.
If you want to blow off some steam by playing a Hold'em tournament, then you will have the option for this as well. There are a total of three NLH tournaments available during the event, with of course, the Midnight Madness tournaments!
