The high-stakes tables on Full Tilt Poker are constantly filled with the world’s top poker superstars battling it out in $100k+ pots. On any given night, railbirds can watch the likes of Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius splashing cyber-chips around with reckless abandon. But it isn’t no-limit hold’em they’re playing – the real nosebleed action is taking place on the pot-limit Omaha (PLO) tables.

Brian ‘Stinger88’ Hastings has just come off a phenomenal month in which he won over $1m playing PLO cash games, while fellow CardRunners pro Brian ‘sbrugby’ Townsend recently enthused that PLO is ‘a beautiful game, and so much more complex than no-limit hold’em.’ In fact, Betfair’s Ben Grundy has gone so far as to say that he’s not playing any more no-limit hold’em (NLHE) cash games this year because his PLO results are going so well.
