Today marks the first day a new event is to be played at the 2012 World Series of Poker. Event 3: $3,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha is the first of its kind and judging from Twitter, it's going to be a big one. We expect some of the premier poker players in the world to be in attendance.
Each player will start with a total of 9,000 in chips, but will have 3,000 in play to start with two rebuy lammers. Players can use their rebuy at anytime in between hands. The tournament is capped at 512 players and those advancing to Day 2 will need to win three rounds here today.
The rounds are scheduled to start at 12:00 PM, 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live updates.
