It's the Beginning of Event #64: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed)
The beginning of Event #64: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed) is upon us. The action is slated to get underway at 3:00 p.m. PDT inside the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.
Loren Klein, a pot-limit Omaha specialist, comes in as the defending champion after taking home a cool $241,427 in this event last year. That was Klein's first WSOP bracelet and he has added another bracelet here in 2017 in Event #41: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha. Klein will be looking to add to his impressive $1,630,031 career live earnings.
Once the cards get in the air, players will play 10 levels of 60 minutes with a 15-minute break after every two levels. They will be given 7,500 starting chips and registration will stay open for six levels (approx. 9:45 p.m.).
