Event #4 - $400 Multi-Flight PLO

Nobody loves Pot-Limit Omaha more than Texas and we're here with the PokerAtlas Tour to bring a big PLO event to Houston! This event features sic starting flights and a $100,000 guarantee for just $400. And we expect to crush that guarantee, because Houston always shows up for PLO tournaments.

You can click the structure sheet image to see the full schedule and we will be back with a photo gallery and chip count updates in a few hours as we begin coverage of this event as well as the conclusion of the Valuetown™ event that should wrap up late tonight.

Valuetown™ - Prize Pool Breakdown

This beast generated a prize pool of nearly a quarter of a million dollars with a $250 buy-in. Below are the full payouts for day two, including money that has already been paid out to players who made the money but busted on day one. PokerAtlas and Texas Card House are absolutely killing it here in Houston and we also expect big fields for the multi-flight, $100k guaranteed, PLO event that starts today.

Valuetown™ - Day Two Chip Leaders

We're ready to start day two of the PokerAtlas Valuetown™ event here at Texas card House in Houston. The room is buzzing, cards are ready to go, and bags of chips lay in front of every seat. We have 76 players starting the day, with David Shaw as chip leader. First place will $39,380 and we will post the full prize pool breakdown in a few minutes.

Valuetown™ - Flight 1L Bags - A New Chip Leader, And A Dragon!

We have a new chip leader! The action was wild and the field was big in this morning's turbo flight, and local crusher David Shaw bagged the tournament chip lead to start day two with 1,285,000. We did a feature on the man they simply call "Shaw" a few days ago, and he will be a tough out in this one with the chip lead and years of serious tournament experience.

David 'The Dragon' Pham also bagged chips in this flight, and while he doesn't have quite the stack that Shaw amassed today, The Dragon is a threat with any stack. with more than eleven million in lifetime winnings, we know the dragon knows how to handle a big field and the stress of a big day two.

Valuetown™ - Flight 1K Bags

Five players will advance from our turbo flight, including our chip leader for the flight, Kimberly Price. This cash has already more than doubled Price's lifetime tournament winnings and if day two goes well this could be the breakthrough score for her.

Valuetown™ - Flight 1J Bags

Eight more players make day two today, with Emmanuel Mckenzie. A Houston local, Mckenzie has over $700,000 in live tournament winnings, including a win in the PokerAtlas Tour title event in December of 2024 in Austin.

Valuetown™ - Flight 1I Bags

Nice flight here, with William Preece bagging over a million for a top five stack so far.

Registration is now closed on our final standard flight, with only two turbo flights left to take a shot at this $200,000 guaranteed prize pool. This flight drew 130 entries, and will pay 17 places with 8 of those advancing to day two.

Flight 1K just started, with registration open until 11:10pm tonight, and tomorrow's morning turbo flight starts at 10am with registration open until just after noon. Day two starts at 4pm tomorrow and we will finish out the tournament tomorrow night.

Monster Multi-Flight PLO Starts Tomorrow

Once the field is determined for the Valuetown™ event and cards are in the air for day two, we move on to the $100,000 guaranteed Pot-Limit Omaha. They love their PLO here in Texas, so we expect a big field in this one. With six starting flights, there are lots of chances to get in on this one. Our first two flights are tomorrow, at 5pm and 9pm, with the 9pm flight running as a turbo. Clcik on teh structure sheet to the left for full info and schedule.

One Closes, Another Opens. Welcome to Valuetown™.

Registration is now closed on Flight 1I, and Flight 1J registration is open. Flight 1K will open at 9pm, and the last chance turbo flight, 1L, will start at 10am tomorrow. Day two starts tomorrow at 4pm.

Flight 1I will pay 15 spots, with 7 players advancing to day two. We are down below 30 players at the moment, and there are still a few bonus hunters in the field looking to sneak into day two and grab that $2,000.

This multi-flight setup, with three flights a day, is popular with players, especially grinders looking for double bag bonuses or to get a bigger stack through. There is only about an hour of the day where there is not a flight open for registration, so players who really want to get in there and mix it up can fire those bullets and try to build a monster all day, every day.

Our next event will be a $400 P0t-Limit Omaha Event with six flights, and a $100,000 guarantee. The first flight is tomorrow at 5pm, and there will be a turbo flight at 9pm as well. There's nothing quite as exciting as a turbo PLO flight! Get em in the middle!
