Seven Deep for PLO in Danville, Virginia — Zero Tables Open

Seven players signed up for a $2/$2 pot-limit Omaha game at Caesars Virginia in Danville overnight — and not a single table was running.

The Bravo snapshot from just after 2 a.m. ET on May 20 showed the waitlist at 7 with zero tables open. The median waitlist for the game sits at 2. That 3.5× ratio — seven names, no game — makes it the deepest phantom PLO list in Virginia.

The Straddle Changes Everything

Look at the game listing: 2-2 PLO (200-1000) $10-Straddle.

That mandatory $10 straddle turns a $2/$2 game into something that plays closer to $5/$10 once the action opens. A $200 minimum buy-in is two straddles deep. The $1,000 max is 100 straddles. Players aren't showing up for small-ball Omaha — they want action, and seven of them wanted it badly enough to put their names on a list with no table in sight.

Why Danville Matters

Caesars Virginia opened in 2024, making it one of the newest casino poker rooms in the country. Danville sits near the North Carolina border, roughly 80 miles north of Greensboro and about 145 miles southwest of Richmond. There is no closer legal casino poker for players in that corridor.

A seven-deep PLO waitlist at 2 a.m. in a room this young, in a city this size, is unusual. It signals real PLO demand in a region that had zero legal card rooms three years ago.

What It Means for the Floor

Seven names and zero tables means the game either never got off the ground or died and the list kept growing. Either way, the demand outpaced the supply. Whether the floor opens a table when the next wave of players arrives — or whether those seven names evaporate by afternoon — is the question Caesars Virginia's poker room manager is answering today.

For PLO players within driving distance of Danville: the list exists. The game wants to run. Showing up might be the only thing between a phantom waitlist and a live table.
