Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and the 2018 World Series of Poker for Day 1 of Event #12: $1,500 Dealer's Choice 6-Handed!
Whether it be in the cash games, or on the WSOP tournament schedule, mixed games are here to stay as their popularity has been on the rise over the past few years. There's not a tournament schedule in the city that doesn't have some mixed games sprinkled in-between all the Hold'em and Omaha tournaments, but here at the WSOP is where it's at as an elusive gold bracelet awaits whoever can navigate these treacherous fields featuring savvy veterans and cash game regulars.
The WSOP has always featured tournaments with multiple games such as H.O.R.S.E. and 8-Game, but four years ago saw the inaugural Dealer's Choice tournament won by Robert Mizrachi when he bested the 419-player field to capture his second (at the time) WSOP gold bracelet. The following year in 2015 saw Carol Fuchs win her first WSOP gold bracelet when she topped a 357-player field and a final table that featured the defending champion.
In 2016, Lawrence Berg outlasted the 389-player field to capture his first WSOP gold bracelet, while last year David Bach added to his WSOP gold bracelet collection that at the time included just the $50,000 World Championship H.O.R.S.E. (now the Poker Players Championship), before he collected another in this event, and then one more in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship just 10 days later.

| 2017 | David Bach | USA | 364 | $491,400 | $119,399 |
Like in previous years, this tournament carries with it a $1,500 buy-in, but for the first time it gives players the option of one re-entry. Consequently, a bigger then ever prize pool is expected with 2014's $565,650 prize pool, and $147,092 first prize likely to be broken.
