Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2025 World Series of Poker and your home for live coverage of every WSOP bracelet event.

A true test of all-around poker begins today at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with Event #82: $10,000 Eight-Game Mixed Championship, one of the most demanding events on the WSOP schedule.

Cards are in the air at 2 p.m. local time. Players will receive 60,000 in chips and compete across three days of play, rotating through a mix of No-Limit Hold’em, Seven Card Stud, Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, Razz, Pot-Limit Omaha, Limit Hold’em, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better and 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw.

Levels start at 40 minutes and increase to 60 and 90 minutes deeper into the tournament. Day 1 features 10 levels with 15-minute breaks every two hours. Late registration remains open through Level 11 on Day 2 (around 2:15 p.m.), and the event will play down to a champion on Day 3.

Five-time bracelet winner Calvin Anderson is the defending champion, having triumphed in the first-ever running of this event in 2024, outlasting a 189-player field to earn $413,446. Anderson carried the chip lead into an unscheduled Day 4 and wasted no time sealing the deal, defeating Japan’s Dai Ishibashi in less than a single 90-minute level.

“I’ve never really taken down a big eight-game tournament, this is what the player’s championship used to be,” Anderson told PokerNews after his victory. “To win this is certainly a great accomplishment, what I set out to do. I have a lot of titles in different games, but then you throw them all in the mix, and to navigate a field like this, it’s rewarding, it feels really good actually to accomplish something like that.”
