Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.

Today sees the start of Event #10: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship (8-Handed) here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.

This four-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time with late registration open for nine levels. There will be 15-minute breaks every two hours of play, with no dinner break scheduled on Day 1.

The starting stack is 60,000 chips with the plan for Day 1 to play nine levels. Levels 1-3 are 40 minutes and Levels 4-13 are 60 minutes. From Level 14 onwards, levels increase to 90 minutes in length. Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m.

Last year's event saw 212 players generate a prize pool of $1,971,600. The winner was Ben Lamb who defeated James Chen heads-up to win his second WSOP bracelet, twelve years after his first. Lamb took home $492,795 for his efforts.

"Cards come and go, you have a hot streak and a cold streak, and I ran hotter than the fuckin sun, which was nice," he told PokerNews. "Again, I think I am playing pretty good poker. I haven't been playing a lot but when I have been playing, I have been more emotionally invested and focusing harder."
