Welcome to Day 1 of Event #34: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha - Six Handed. We are not having nine players, we are going to have six, and we are not going to have two cards, we are going to have four. All of the ingredients for an absolutely barnstorming affair of poker and one you would be crazy to miss.

Last year, arguably the worlds greatest tournament player, Jason Mercier won his second World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and $619,575 when he defeated 506 other players to take down this great tournament and we are sure he will be back in action to try and defend his crown.

Players will begin with 5,000 in chips and may receive two additional add-ons, each worth 5,000 tournament chips, anytime during the first 4-levels. Any player who has not taken his/her add-ons by the end of the fourth level will automatically receive them. There will be ten-levels of play, with each level lasting sixty-minutes. There will be a twenty-minute break every 2-levels and a ninety-minute dinner break at the end of level 6.

The field is sure to be star-studded, once more, so make sure that you join us at 12:00 PM for all of the action here at PokerNews.
