MICHAEL TRAN WINS POT LIMIT OMAHA - $23,543

NewsPosted 12-03-2017

Pot Limit Omaha is a bit of a crowd favourite in The Star Poker Room, rumoured to over take No Limit Hold'em in popularity in the future. The number of entrants in today's field is testament to that rumour, Michael Tran overcoming a record field of 174, including omaha and poker royalty such as:

  • Jarrad Graham - WSOP Bracelet winner in Omaha
  • Gary Benson - WSOP Bracelet winner
  • Martin Kozlov - WSOP Bracelet winner
  • Grant Levy - APPT Sydney Winner
  • Andy Lee - Star Summer Series winner, and Star Poker Festival $5K Challenge runner up

There is no debate his perfomace has been stellar as this event and to a greater extend, The Star Poker Festival. The proof of this is in the pudding (read: leader board), Following Tran's win in PLO, he is set to rocket up The Star Poker Festival leaderboard and bag himself a seat to the $1,100 Monster Stack at The Star Sydney Championships (provided nothing else changes!) when the series returns in July and August. With over $10,000 in seats to be given away, Tran's pay day is looking better with every event he enters.

Congratulations to all final table qualifiers at The Star Poker Festival Pot Limit Omaha event in 2017:
