2024 PLO Grand Slam
Lautaro Guerra raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 12,000 by "Megas" on the button. Tina Bajric called in the small blind, as did Guerra.
Bajric then bet 25,000 on the 2♦K♥2♥ flop, which both players folded to. Bajric celebrated as she stated she was happy with the pair of deuces on the flop.

The start of the €5,200 has been slightly delayed.

A new challenger has appeared on the European poker circuit, and they are kicking off things with a bang. Diamond Poker Series' first-ever festival, the PLO Grand Slam, starts today at Arena Casino in Tirana, Albania. The festival features a week of mid- and high-stakes Omaha action, with buy-ins ranging from €1,100 to €25,500. Over €3,000,000 in prize pools is guaranteed across all tournaments, so huge prizes are in store for those crowned champions.
First up is the €5,200 PLO Opener, which gets cards in the air today at 5 p.m. local time. The tournament has a guarantee of €1,000,000, with two starting days and unlimited reentries providing plenty of opportunities for players to build a stack. PokerNews will also cover the €10,300 PLO Championship later on in the series, which boasts the same seven-figure guarantee. The full schedule can be found here.

The €5,200 PLO Opener sits players down with a starting stack of 200,000. The first level has blinds of 500/1,000 with a big blind ante of 1,000. Day 1a will play through 11 levels of 45 minutes before the survivors bag and tag for Day 2. A 15-minute break will be had after every three levels, with a 45-minute dinner break after Level 6, around 9:45 p.m.
Unlimited options for reentry are available, and doing so can be done until the start of Day 2, which begins in Level 12: 10,000/15,000 with a 15,000 big blind ante. However, players are incentivized to end Day 1a with a big stack as the top two stacks at the end of the night will receive a ticket to the €10,300 PLO Championship. These tickets are not deducted from the prize pool but are coming straight out of the organizers' pockets, with no strings attached.
