That's a wrap from the Amazon Room at the Rio for Day One of Event 37 - $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo World Championship.

Today saw a world class field of 235 players hit the felt and although the action was slow early on, there were plenty of highlights, tough tables, and bad beats as the day progressed.

We'll have around 120 players who will return on Day Two tomorrow with Brad Booth, Annie Duke, and Erick Lindgren finishing the day amongst our chip leaders.

Join us tomorrow for our continued coverage where it could be a long day as we play right down to a final table. The action kicks off at 3 p.m local time and we look forward to your company then!
