After ten hour-long levels of play, Day 1 has concluded in Event #87: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better at the 2023 World Series of Poker. Of those starters, 247 players have bagged and will be advancing to Day 2 and will look to take home their share of the $1,023,500 prize pool, with the champion taking home $221,733 and a coveted WSOP gold bracelet.

Some 460 entrants saw play today at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, easily eclipsing the 401 runners from 2019, the last time this event ran. That tournament was won by Yuri Dzivielevski, the first of what is now three bracelets for the Brazilian star. The first step to joining Dzivielevski and winning the title will be making the money. Only 69 players will cash and will earn a minimum of $4,053 for their efforts.

Sitting atop the leaderboard after the initial day of play is British pro Patrick Leonard, who bagged 212,000. "Pads," who won his maiden bracelet alongside Espen Jorstad in last year's tag team event, looks to continue on towards a second bracelet.

Also among the chip leaders is "Crazy Mike" Thorpe, who will take 165,500 with him into Day 2. Thorpe has six cashes so far this summer and hopes to create a memorable lucky number seven. Another player who is moving on is Vasu Amarapu (99,800), who built an early stack with not one, but two royal flushes in four hands.

Day 2 kicks off on July 14 at 1:00 p.m. local time. Action resumes on Level 11, with blinds of 1,300-2,500 and limits of 2,500-5,000 in Omaha. Stud will have a 500 ante, 700 bring-in, 2,500 completion, and limits of 2,500-5,000. Players who survive ten one-hour levels will advance to Day 3 and move one step closer to being the champion.

Buchalter Sends Out Kastory

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Action was picked up on the flop in a hand between Yehuda Buchalter in the big blind, Mark Kastory on the button, and another player in the small blind.

The flop read 694, and players checked around to Kastory, who bet while the small blind raised and Buchalter called. Kastory moved all in and saw the small blind four-bet, and Buchalter called once more.

The turn came out the 10 and the small blind bet, and Buchalter called.

On the 10 river, the small blind checked to Buchalter, who bet, and his opponent called.

Buchalter turned over AQJ7 for the nut flush, and the small blind mucked their hand while Kastory mucked his hand behind and was eliminated from the tournament.
