A new weekly PLO event drew 54 entries
Sunday marked the debut of Mini Phil's Thrill PLO, a $2,650 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament that attracted 54 entries and built a $135,000 prize pool. Americas Cardroom plans to run the event weekly.

The Final Table Replayer exposes every hole card for free
Launched September 2, the browser-based FT Replayer requires no account or download. It automatically publishes every completed Americas Cardroom tournament final table with all players' hole cards revealed.
"The Final Table Replayer adds another layer of confidence because once the final table is over, anyone can go back through every hand with every hole card exposed," Nagy said. He added that with the OSS XL series underway, the tool doubles as a study aid, letting players review opponents, review themselves, and see exactly how a final table unfolded.
OSS XL runs through September with $50 million in guarantees
The replayer's debut coincides with OSS XL, which runs September 6-29 and features 336 events with more than $50 million in guaranteed prize money. Players can review completed final tables directly through the Americas Cardroom FT Replayer.
