Three Omaha Hi-Lo Variants On Show in the $1,500 PLO8 Mixed Event
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees the start of Event #15: $1,500 Mixed Omaha here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. This event is made up of three Omaha variants, and is played eight-handed: Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, & Big O
This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time with late registration open for nine levels (approximately 8:45 p.m.). There will be 15-minute breaks every three levels, with no dinner break pencilled in. Players are permitted two reentries.
The starting stack is 25,000 chips with the plan for Day 1 to play 15 40-minute levels. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. Tuesday, levels increase to 60 minutes, and closes after another ten levels of play. A winner will be crowned on Day 3.
Last year, Sweden’s Magnus Edengren topped a field of 853 players to win $196,970 and his first WSOP bracelet. He defeated Tim Seidensticker heads-up, telling PokerNews he only plays Omaha tournaments
“I have not been close to winning a bracelet yet, but this year I have been great. I was 12th in the PLO8 and thirty-something in Big O. Just four cards for me,” he said. “If there are any of those tournaments while I am in Las Vegas, I will play them."
