UK Omaha Series to be Hosted by The Vic
World-famous London poker room The Vic will be running their UK Omaha Series next month.
The four-day festival, which runs from February 23 to 26, will include five deep-stacked and slow-structured events with buy-ins from £100 to £500. The three most interesting tournaments will be a £500+£50 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha Freezeout two-day main event on the Saturday and Sunday, a £150+£15 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Max Turbo, and a £200+£20 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Freezeout – with both taking place on the 26th. The Vic will also run £70 buy-in Freezeout satellites on Wednesday, February 1, 8 and 22, while single table satellites will run throughout the festival and February.
