Event #64: $5,000 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed Begins at 3 P.M. PST
For the second time at the 2021 World Series of Poker, No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha will combine to make Event #64: $5,000 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed, which begins at 3 p.m. PT.
It was Darrin Wright who emerged as the champion in the first edition of this format earlier in the series, prevailing over a field of 1,569 players to win $127,219 and his first WSOP gold bracelet.
The big difference this time around is the buy-in. While Wright's win came in a $600 event, the entry fee for this event will be $5,000, ensuring a smaller, more star-studded field today.
Players will begin the tournament with 50,000 chips and play 20 levels lasting 30 minutes each on Day 1. There will be a 15-minute break every four levels. Late registration is open until the end of Level 12, which should come around 9:45 p.m PT. Play will switch between the two games every eight hands. This is scheduled as a two-day event.
Stay tuned to PokerNews throughout the day as what will surely be an elite field gets whittled down past the money bubble and on to the crowning of a new WSOP champion tomorrow.
