That's a wrap from the Amazon Room at the Rio for Day One of Event 37 - $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo World Championship.

Today saw a world class field of 235 players hit the felt and although the action was slow early on, there were plenty of highlights, tough tables, and bad beats as the day progressed.

We'll have around 120 players who will return on Day Two tomorrow with Brad Booth, Annie Duke, and Erick Lindgren finishing the day amongst our chip leaders.

Join us tomorrow for our continued coverage where it could be a long day as we play right down to a final table. The action kicks off at 3 p.m local time and we look forward to your company then!

Chris Ferguson just busted out the $5,000 Seven Card Stud World Championship and instead of going out and celebrating his second-place finish, he came over to play out his stack in this event. Someone from the rail yelled out, "Let's go Chris. You still have chips!"

Ferguson has about 3,300 left in chips.

On a flop of {8-Spades} {10-Spades} {6-Spades}, David Sklansky put the rest of his chips into a pot with two other players that included Hoyt Corkins. The turn and river fell {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Corkins showed {A-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs} for second-nut low. Sklanskly showed {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {A-Spades} {5-Spades} for the nut flush and second-nut low. Their opponent showed {J-?} {9-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for a pair of nines.

Sklansky takes three-quarters of the pot and moves to 26,500 in chips.

Brad Booth has just taken down a nice scooped pot against two opponents holding {Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} on a board of {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

Booth made a flush to go with his low to scoop as both opponents mucked their cards. Booth jumps to close to 100,000 chips.

Doyle Brunson is now wearing a black hoodie just like Phil Laak. The main difference is that he is wearing a cowboy hat too. Mike Matusow came over and said, "Doyle, are you the new Unibomber?"
