Event #39: $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better

Day 1 Started

Seven Cards and an Eight Qualifier; it's Stud Hi-Lo Time!

Last year's champion Cory Zeidman

Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and the 2013 World Series of Poker for Event #39: $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better!

Last year Cory Zeidman collected his first gold bracelet after defeating Chris Bjorin heads up and a total of 622 players to walk away with the $201,559 first prize. That final table also consisted of Michael Mizrachi, Xuan Liu and Todd Brunson, and with the way the mixed game results have been going so far this series, it is more than likely that a well-known pro will capture the Event #39 title in just a few days time.

Tricky Table on 371

Level 1 : 50/100, 75 ante

We don't often like naming tables of death, but in the case of table 371, there is a strong case for it.

Mike Matusow (4), Frankie O'Dell (2), Barry Shulman, (2) and Dan Kelly (1) have 9 bracelets between them - and with the way Dan Kelly has been running this WSOP, another could have easily been added.
