Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees the start of Event #18: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed) here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 12 p.m. local time with late registration open for nine levels. There will be 20-minute breaks every three levels, with a 60-minute dinner break after Level 9.
The starting stack is 25,000 chips with the plan for Day 1 to play 15 40-minute levels or down to 15 percent of the field, whichever is later. Day 2 resumes at 12 p.m. Thursday when levels increase to 60 minutes.
Last year's event saw 1,355 players generate a prize pool of $1,808,925. The winner was Sean Troha who defeated Ryan Coon heads-up. Troha took home $259,549 and his second WSOP bracelet, having won the $10,000 PLO Championship in 2022.
“I guess I’m as confident as I’ve been, there are still better players out there, but I’ve done a little bit of work and I guess I’m just trying to do my best," Troha told PokerNews following his win.
