Welcome Back to PokerNews' continuing coverage of the 2017 Western New York Poker Challenge.

Today we shine the spotlight on the great game of Pot-Limit Omaha with the $15,000 Guaranteed $265+$35 PLO Re-Entry Event #7.

It's four cards instead of two. Two cards must play at showdown and the limit is always the pot.

It's a single-day event and the levels are 30-minutes each. Players get 20,000 chips to start and can enter and reenter freely, all the way up to the start of Level 9. PLO tournaments have no antes.

Like a lot of card rooms across this great country, here at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, PLO cash plays higher than Hold'em. That means the best of the best in Western New York all have a great grasp of four-card poker and should to turn up to chase this title.

Last time around, at the 2016 Seneca Fall Poker Classic, a 27-year-old roofer from Depew, NY took down the $300 Pot Limit Omaha. Jeff Salhab earned $5,897 and the title getting the best of an 80-entry field that created a guarantee-smashing $20,140 prizepool.

They are expecting similar numbers today.

Play begins at 11 a.m. local time and although things may start a little slow, they're bound to heat up quickly.
