There are 350 hopefuls in their seats as cards are in the air in Event #60: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better.
Level: 1
Blinds: 100/100
Ante: 0
There has been an uncharacteristic delay to the tournament but the floor has just announced that play will begin in a few minutes.
The first of three days of action in Event #60: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better will get underway at 3 p.m. local time in Amazon Purple here at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.
The 50th annual World Series of Poker continues with yet another popular event. On the schedule for today are ten 60-minute levels, with a 20-minute break at the end of every two levels. Late registration is open for the first eight levels so will close at around midnight. The event also features a single re-entry format for any players who are eliminated while registration is still open.
Joseph Couden won this event in 2018 and took home $244,370 and his first bracelet after beating a field of 935 entrants, coming out on top of a star-studded final table that included the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Mike Matusow, Eli Elezra, and Bruno Fitoussi. Couden has already had some deep runs, cashing five times in this year's series, including a fifth-place finish in Event #43: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet a few days ago. The American will certainly be a formidable figure if he returns to defend his title.
As always PokerNews will be on hand, providing coverage of all the action over the next three days.
