Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Chopping

It's Day 3 of the 2010 World Series of Poker. That means it's time for the first event that doesn't have any no-limit hold'em -- Event #4, $1,500 Omaha Hi/Lo. With the Pavilion Room jammed full of players in Day 1b of Event 3, our start today is taking place in the Blue and Red Sections of the Amazon Room.

This event was won in 2009 -- and in 2008! -- by Thang Luu. Luu also finished 2nd in 2007 for one of the most impressive three-year runs that anyone can remember. It won't be four years. Luu was involved in an altercation with a dealer in the cash games at the 2009 WSOP. The fallout was that he was barred from the property for one year. That ban is still in effect and so Luu is not in the field today.

Dealers will start chopping pots in about twenty minutes. All the action will be available here on PokerNews, the official live-update provider of the 2010 WSOP.
