Event #57: $2,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Mix
Day 2 Started
It's time for Day 2 of the chopped pot extravaganza that is Event #57: $2,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Mix.
After one day of play, plenty of headline-grabbers made their way towards the top of the chip counts, including online beast Alex Luneau, Igor Sharaskin who is as hot as almost anyone at the 2017 World Series of Poker, and Josh Arieh who is coming off of a near-miss as he finished third in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Championship.
Meanwhile Larry Tull returns to the chip lead today with 152,500, with David Matsumoto (124,900) and Sharaskin (112,600) the only other players with six-figure stacks to this point.
Those are some of the 126 remaining players who will return to their seats at 2 p.m. — if they plan to see the first card being dealt, anyway — for Day 2 of this event, with only a few tables of runners likely to see the second round of bags.
The plan for Day 2 is to play 10 more levels, each lasting one hour. They'll progress from 1,500/3,000 limits on to 10,000/20,000, with a few 15 minute breaks every couple of levels and a one-hour dinner break interspersed in there. During that time, we will see the money bubble burst when they event is down to 61 players, which should happen a few levels into the day.
Stay tuned to PokerNews to see who can navigate past that point and best position themselves for a $215,902 payday that will come on Day 3.
