Hooked on Hollywood
Darryll Fish plays the Hollywood Poker Open Championship every year. Like a lot of players, he says he loves the property at M Luxury Resort Hotel Casino, and finds this tournament the perfect way to get a break from the Rio during the World Series of Poker and still get his grind on.
That notion, and the huge number of qualifiers who come in from across the country year in year out, is clearly the reason this event has become one of the most popular Hold'em events of the summer outside the series.
With two cashes and a final table appearance in two Pot-Limit Omaha events at the WSOP so far this year, Fish will have to adjust back to two-card poker again, but that shouldn't be a problem.
Fish says the beauty of Pot-Limit Omaha tournaments these days is that most of the field doesn't pay attention to basic tournament strategy, and despite the number of qualifiers, that likely won't be the case at here in the Hollywood.
But with $2,265,385 in career tournament earnings mostly built playing Hold'em, Fish should fare just fine and be worth watching as the day moves on.
