A Winner Will be Crowned in Event #18: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship
Another bracelet winner will be crowned later today at the 2019 World Series of Poker as the Event #18: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship draws to a conclusion with six players out of a field of 183 entries still in contention. They have all locked up $76,456 locked up so far, but it will be all about the top prize of $443,641 and the coveted gold bracelet when the action resumes at 12 noon local time in the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.
Three former WSOP bracelet winners are among the final six and Robert Mizrachi is in the driver's seat with a solid lead over the other five contenders after bagging up 3,905,000 in the previous night. Mizrachi seeks his fifth career bracelet while Owais Ahmed (1,850,000) will go for number two and Frankie O'Dell (1,000,000) could add a third bracelet to his collection.
Second in chips heading into the six-handed showdown is Nick Guagenti with 2,000,000. Australia's Robert Campbell will attempt to avoid an American victory and enters the final day with 1,235,000. Last but not least, Jake Schwartz is seeking his maiden bracelet and will return to his seat with a stack of 940,000 chips. Schwartz already has 52 WSOP results and half a million dollars in WSOP cashes to his name.
