PLO Registration Stats
So far in today's event we have a total of 657 players. This technically is a new event at the WSOP as it is the first time a $3,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha event has been offered. Last year there was a $2,500 PLO event.
Below are registration numbers for all the PLO events last year and so far this year.

2011
