The 2023 edition of PokerStar's World Championship of Online Poker is beginning to wind down after several weeks of exciting play. All series long, players across the globe have been vying for Championships; Today, the quest for one of the most prestigious gets underway. Event 100-H World Championship of PLO, boasting a buy-in of $10,300 is set to get underway at 3:05 p.m. Eastern Time.
This is a new buy-in level for this event. In 2022, PLO WCOOP events topped out at $5,200. In that iteration of the tournament, it was Norway's "jokkee_apart" who emerged victorious. They defeated the field of 76 runners, who generated a prize pool of $380,000, with the first place prize coming in at $92,684.
With some time still before cards hit the virtual felt, entrants have already begun trickling into the tournament lobby. While it remains to be seen if "jokkee_apart" will attempt to defend their title, some familiar faces will be in the mix. England's Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi has already entered. Shakerchi has over $18,000,000 in live tournament winnings, including past success in PokerStars events, as he shipped the $5,300 No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed Turbo at the 2016 PCA, for $90,800. Other familiar faces who have already registered include Ka Kwan "kaju85" Lau and Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro.
This event will run across three days, with the eventual champion being crowned at the end of play on Tuesday, October 3rd. On Day 1, levels will last 30 minutes each, with blinds beginning at 500/1000 with a 100 ante. Each player will sit down with 250,000 chips. Today's action will conclude after Level 15, at which point the remaining players will bag their virtual chips to return to action tomorrow, Monday, October 2nd, at 12:35 p.m. Eastern Time. Late Registration will remain open for 22 hours after the tournament starts, allowing late entrants to begin on Day 2. Players have two reentries at their disposal if they run out of chips before late registration closes. There will be a five minute break every hour, 55 minutes past the hour.
