Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship Kicks Off at 3 P.M.
Another tournament gets underway today at the 2022 World Series of Poker, with Day 1 of Event #63 $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship kicking off at 3 p.m. local time inside Bally's and Paris, Las Vegas.
This is only the fifth instalment of this event, having been won previously by Josh Arieh, Nick Schulman, Phil Galfond and Bryce Yockey, all of whom are expected to be in attendance this time around.
Along with the aforementioned names, a star-studded field is expected with the likes of Erik Seidel, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey hopping into the mix at some point.
WSOP Player of the Year contender Daniel Zack won the fixed-limit version of this event at the beginning of the series. He beat Dustin Dirksen after a marathon session of heads-up play to claim his first 2022 WSOP bracelet. He then won the $10,000 Stud Hi-Lo Championship just a few weeks later to collect his second bracelet of the summer. He'll no doubt be looking to make it a hat-trick of wins to further cement his chances of being the 2022 WSOP POY.
