On Wednesday at 5 pm, action will begin in the $10,000 World Championship event, which features not one but eight different poker variations. To say that the winner here needs a well-rounded poker game is just a bit of an understatement.

Over the case of each hour, the players will rotate through the eight poker formats in this order:

1) Deuce-to-seven triple draw;
2) Fixed-limit hold'em;
3) Omaha-8 (hi/lo split);
4) Razz;
5) Seven-card stud;
6) Seven-card stud (hi/lo split, 8 or better);
7) No-limit hold'em;
8) Pot-limit Omaha.

Because of the presence of the stud games, there will a maximum of eight players per table. The first twenty minutes of each level will be spent playing games 1-3 on the list above, with the game changing every eight hands. The second twenty minutes will be for games 4-6, and the final 20 minutes will be used for variants 7-8. At the start of each new level the overall process starts anew.

This is a brand new event for the WSOP, so the winner will establish himself as the owner of an extra bit of poker lore. Expect most of the famed pros from the Vegas live games to be on hand for this one.
