Registration is closed and the prize pool is final in Event 2 of the Winter Poker Open, a $250 buy-in Pot Limit Omaha Re-Entry tournament with a $20,000 guarantee. A stout field of 143 entries marked a year-over-year attendance increase of over 33 percent. The $30,030 prize pool eclipsed the $20,000 guarantee handily and pays the top 18 finishers at least $450.
