The action continues at the 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with Day 1 of Event #55: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better beginning at 2 p.m. local time.
This is the third stud tournament of the series, but the first stud hi-lo. The game is a split pot variant, with half the pot going to the best high hand and half the pot going to the player making the best qualifying low hand. A low hand qualifies if a player has five unique cards between an ace and an eight. If there is no qualifying low hand, the entire pot will be awarded to the player with the best high hand.
Ali Eslami took down this event last year, topping a field of 471 entrants to win $135,260 and his first WSOP gold bracelet. He battled through a final table that included notables such as Jeff Madsen and Thomas Taylor. Previous winners of this event include Michael Mizrachi, Eli Elezra, Cory Zeidman, Daniel Idema and Calvin Anderson.
