Two Games for the Price of One

As is the case with most of the other WSOP tournaments, each level of Event No. 10 will last 60 minutes. Players will switch back and forth between pot-limit hold'em and pot-limit Omaha, playing nine hands of each game (e.g., one orbit) at a time. Levels will begin with PLO.

Within each level, the blinds for PLH will always be a bit larger than those for PLO. Thus here in Level 1, the blinds for PLO will be 25/50, while for PLH will be 50/75. In Level 2, PLO will be 50/75, and PLH will be 50/100, and so forth. In other words, the blinds for PLO will be exactly one level behind those of PLH throughout the tourney.

Within a given level, we won't be noting when the games are switching back and forth, since the time for the change will be unique for each table. In other words, we'll have PLO hands being played at one table while PLH hands are being played at another.

We will, however, be sure to clarify at the start of each hand we report whether it is PLO or PLH. (Even though the cards should tell you.)
