PLO Main Event nears money bubble as clock pauses intensify tension

The PLO Main Event, hosted on Eventbrite, has reached a pivotal stage. The event is currently at Level 17, with blinds set at 4000/8000/8000. Recent exits include John McCarthy, Nu Teliani, and Ryan Smith, narrowing the field further. To ease the pressure, officials have decided to pause the clock for two minutes after each hand until the next player is eliminated in the main event. With the clock temporarily stopped, players are preparing for the decisive moments ahead. The next elimination will determine who advances to the paid positions. The tournament will resume with the money play once the bubble bursts.
