Dia 1 Iniciado
The 2023 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas continues with Day 1 of Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship, which begins at 2 p.m. local time.
We’re likely to see a large field of elite players, including defending champion Daniel Zack. At the 2022 WSOP, the all-time high of 196 entries created a total prize pool of $1,827,700, and saw Zack capture his second gold bracelet and the $440,757 first-place prize. Zack reached the promised land after a grueling seven-hour heads-up battle with Dusten Dirksen, on a final table that also included bracelet winner Alex Livingston and Kane Kalas.
Notable players that cashed last year's event include Todd Brunson in 12th, Connor Drinan in 19th, and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow in 29th.
There’s a bit of a tweak to this year’s structure, as Levels 1-6 will drop to 40-minutes from 60-minutes, Levels 7-10 will be 60-minutes long, and Levels 11 and beyond will be 90-minutes, giving players plenty of play as the tournament progresses to run up their 60,000 chip starting stack. Players will play ten levels today and receive a 15-minute break every two hours of play, with late registration open until the start of Day 2.

Van Law raised for Michael Solomon and Nicholas Blumenthal to call out of the blinds. Solomon proceeded to check-call three streets on the J♥7♦2♠8♦9♠ board and the cards were revealed.
Law tabled the A♠9♣4♠3♠ (nut low and pair of nines) and it won the pot, as the A♦Q♣8♠5♦ (87 low and pair of eights) of Solomon had an inferior pair and low.

William McMahan had won an early pot with a scoop on a double-paired board where no low was possible and bet a three-way flop of Q♦J♣8♠, earning calls from Chad Eveslage and Ryan Laplante. The 10♣ turn was checked to McMahan and he bet again, this time just earning a call from Laplante.
Both checked the 10♥ river and McMahan's A♣K♥9♣2♦ for broadway was good enough to earn the entire pot.

Dylan Lambe raised in the cutoff and George Wolff called to see a flop of 10♥8♣4♥, on which Wolff check-called a bet by Lambe. The finalist of the previous year checked again the 7♥ on the turn and Lambe bet. The dealer already burned even before Wolff made a decision for his next move, who then gave up the pot.
Wolff has been up so far while Lambe recovered some losses.
