Event 24 Kicks Off at 5:00 PM

Welcome to today's evening event, Event 24: $5,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better. Last year, Viacheslav Zhukov won the version of this event, Event 11: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better Championship, and took home $465,216. He defeated a field of 202 players to win the title.

A field size around the same amount should be in store for us today. As is often the case with the larger buy-in, 5:00 PM events, the field should be chalk full of notable faces. Once the players begin arriving, we'll be sure to let you know who's here.

The tournament is scheduled to kick off at 5:00 PM, so be sure to stick around for the live coverage right here on PokerNews. You can also browse our coverage of other World Series of Poker events by checking out our Live Reporting Page.
