Omaha and Stud Fans Get Ready, Event #46: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo/Stud Hi-Lo About to Start

[user217945]

Welcome back to PokerNews' coverage of the 2018 World Series of Poker. Mixed game maniacs get ready because Event #46: Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better is about to kick off.

Last year, Smith Sirisakorn topped a field of 405 players to take down a first place prize of $215,902. Sirisakorn battled it out at an extremely tough final table containing Barry Greenstein, Jameson Painter, Alex Luneau, and Jared Bleznick to lock up his first gold bracelet. Before that, Sirisakorn had no live recorded cashes.

This event represents the only mixed stud and Omaha tournament this series, so it's one of a kind in its own right. Players can consider it a warm-up of sorts for Event #64: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship which kicks off on July 1, or a cooldown from Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship which Paul Volpe took down just a few weeks ago now.

Today, players are set to play ten, one-hour levels kicking off at 3 p.m. (PDT). Players will start with 12,500 chips and late registration will be open and running until right around midnight. Action will kick off with limits of 150-300 and is scheduled to go on for three days of play. PokerNews will be here to cover it all, so make sure to stay tuned in.

The Art of the Live Multitable

Nível 2 : 200/400, 0 ante

Over the years multitabling at the World Series of Poker has been something that only the most skilled players could pull off. Tom Dwan was one of the first to showcase the feat during his bracelet bet years, running back and forth across the Rio convention center to get into as many events as he could. Shaun Deeb was also seen this year running deep in two events at the same time, nearly making multiple final tables.

But, with the addition of online bracelet events, multitabling just got a whole lot easier. Today, alongside this event, Event #47: $565 WSOP.com ONLINE Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed is also running. Several players in this field have already been spotted on their laptops, playing both this event and that event. This includes bracelet winner John Racener among others.

So far, we've yet to see someone win a bracelet while playing another event, but the feat must be inching closer as more and more online bracelet events are added each year.

Leah Leaves Schwartz Shaking His Head

[user217945]

Nível 6 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Mike Leah: //
Ylon Schwartz: //

Action was on sixth street upon our arrival at the table with each player having multiple bets already in front of them. Leah was first to act on sixth street and he put out a bet that Schwartz called.

On seventh, Leah bet one more time and Schwartz called one more time. Leah showed down his for three fives and it was good for him to get the scoop from Schwartz. With that pot, Leah moves into one of the biggest stacks in the room with over 40,000 already on Day 1 while Schwartz was left shaking his head after the hand.

Scott "BigRiskky" Clements Trying to Go Deep in Two

[user217945]

Nível 8 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Scott "BigRiskky" Clements playing both events at once.

Earlier in the day we made mention of several players who were multitabling between this event and Event #47: $565 WSOP.com ONLINE Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed. While at first, we mentioned that John Racener was multitabling, it's Scott Clements that's actually the one to watch, going deep in Event #47 and surviving here in Event #46 as well.

Clements has survived through the first eight levels here in Event #46 and while he was doing that, he was busy making it deep in the online event as well, playing under the handle BigRiskky. Clements has built up a stack of 448,033 in that event and currently sits 14 of the 53 players remaining.

Clements will be shooting for the first place prize of $135,078 in that event but he still has some work to do here tonight in this event as well, with two more hours left to play. It would be a truly historic and amazing feat should Clements manage to win an event while playing another at the same time.

Leah Sent to the Rail

[user217945]

Nível 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Mike Leah: //
Player 1: //
Player 2: //
Yueqi Zhu: //

Mike Leah and Yueqi Zhu were both already all in by sixth street when one player in the hand put out a bet and the other raised. The first player called.

On seventh, player 2 bet again and player 1 called. Player 2 showed for a full house. Player 1 showed for a six-five low. Leah held for two pair and almost a flush, but nothing to earn him a piece of the pot. Zhu, however, showed and that earned him a quarter of the pot.

That meant that Leah was eliminated from the tournament. Zhu was left with about 4,500 but he was also eliminated just a few hands later.
