Johnny “Blaze” Flores Making Bank on Big O, Poker’s Action-Packed 5-Card Omaha Variant

There’s no denying no-limit Texas hold’em still dominates the poker landscape, but for some players who prefer a little more action, pot-limit Omaha (PLO) is their game of choice. Taking that even further, true action junkies have developed an affinity for “Big O.”

Big O is a form of Omaha poker where instead of four cards, players receive five cards. The format is also played Hi-Lo split with half the pot being awarded to the high hand, and the other half to the low hand - providing there is a low hand that qualifies under the 8 or Better rule.
