Welcome to Day 1 of Event #59: $3,000 Omaha Hi-Low
For the 2014 World Series of Poker, a number of new and old events were added that got the attention of the poker world, such as the return of the $10,000 championship events, the well-received and universally intriguing Dealer's Choice event, and the outrageously popular Monster Stack. One event that schedule readers likely glossed over, not even realizing it was a new addition, is the $3,000 Omaha Hi-Low tournament.
The tournament will feature starting stacks of 9,000, with limits beginning at 75/150. As this is a tournament starting at 4 p.m., the tournament's first day will go without a dinner break: a frantic 10-level frenzy of split pots and scoops. Breaks will be just 15 minutes long, so we'll be jamming plenty of hands in today during the 11 or so hours we bring you coverage here. Don't go anywhere if you're an Omaha Eight-or-Better fan, as we bring you live updates right here on PokerNews.
