No Limit 2-7 Single Draw and Pot Limit Big O (Big Poker Oktober 2026)
20 Oct 2026 · The Bicycle Hotel & Casino (Parkwest Bicycle Casino), California
Tuesday 20 October 2026 is the oddest day on the Big Poker Oktober calendar, and the best one for players who do not play hold'em: a no limit lowball draw tournament at noon and a pot limit Omaha double-header at 4pm, both for $300.

No Limit 2-7 Single Draw (12pm, $300)
Five cards, one draw, no limit betting, and the best hand is the worst hand: seven-five-four-three-two unsuited. Straights and flushes count against you and the ace is always high. One drawing round and no limit stakes make it the most aggressive lowball format there is, and a scheduled tournament version is a genuine rarity outside the summer in Las Vegas.
Pot Limit Omaha High / Pot Limit Big O (4pm, $300)
Big O is five-card Omaha played high-low with an eight-or-better qualifier; this event pairs it with standard pot limit Omaha high. Big O is far more popular in California cash games than most outsiders expect, which makes an afternoon tournament of it a local specialty rather than a novelty.
The rest of the day
The $300 Seniors 50+ event opens at 11am and the $240 Nightly Survivor closes at 7:30pm, so 20 October offers four tournaments between $240 and $300.
