Event 2 - £2,500 Pot Limit Hold'em/Omaha Day 1 | 2009 World Series of Poker Europe

We're back at the Casino at the Empire on a rare sunny afternoon here in Leicester Square, London, for another glorious day of tournament poker fun. The soup du jour is mixed game poker; pot limit hold'em and omaha, to be precise. Event 2 -- brand new to the World Series of Poker Europe, presented by Betfair -- is a £2,500 buy-in affair in which each table will play nine hands of each game before switching to the other.

Today's play is scheduled for 10 rounds -- 60 minutes each -- with a dinner break after the sixth level of play. Players will begin the day with 7,500 in tournament chips, though some will give them away, some will have them stolen, some will luck their way into mountainous chip towers and others will skillfully navigate through the field, stacking opponents and collecting ammunition for tomorrow's Day 2.

It's all going down right here on PokerNews, so join us from 12:00 noon local time (GMT+1) to see how it all plays out.
