Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship Starts At 3 p.m.
It's time for the first $10K championship of the 2018 World Series of Poker: Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better. Some of the worlds very best are expected to take a seat in the game that brings the chops, quarters and high-volatile stack swings.
Last year, railbirds were glued to their screen as none other than Daniel Negreanu came within inches of winning his seventh career WSOP bracelet. The Canadian poker giant eventually went down in second place as Abe Mosseri claimed his second career-bracelet and the first place prize of $388,305.
Back in 2016, Benny Glaser had a legendary start to the series by winning both the bracelet in the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo event as well as the $10K Omaha Hi-lo straight after, winning $651,297 in the process and cementing his status as one of the very best in this game. Glaser will be out in the field today to try and shoot for bracelet #4.
All players will start with 50,000 in chips and limits begin at 500/1,000. Levels will be 60 minutes throughout the tournament and Day 1 will feature 15 minutes break in between every two levels. Ten levels are scheduled for Day 1 until chips are bagged and late registration is open up until the start of Day 2. The final day of this event is on Tuesday, June 5.
