Pick a Game, Any Game! Time to Play Some Dealers Choice!

Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and the 2017 World Series of Poker (WSOP) for Day 1 of Event #11: $1,500 Dealers Choice 6-Handed!

The popularity of mixed games have been on the rise over the past few years all across Las Vegas and around the world in both cash games and tournament formats. From low buy-ins to high buy-ins, mixed games are definitely one of poker's growth areas, and here at the WSOP it is no exception!

The WSOP has always featured tournaments with multiple games such as H.O.R.S.E. and 8-Game, but three years ago saw the inaugural Dealers Choice tournament take place, and with it saw Robert Mizrachi earning his second of four career WSOP bracelets when he defeated a 419-player field to capture the $147,092 first prize after overcoming a final table table featuring Bill Chen (fourth), Daniel Idema (fifth) and Frank Kassela (sixth).

In 2015, 357 players would take to the felt and it would be Carol Fuchs emerging victorious for the $127,735 first prize after defeating a final table that included defending champion Mizrachi (third), Chris Klodnicki (fourth) and Yuval Bronshtein (fifth). Last year another strong turnout of 389 players would see Lawrence Berg earn his first WSOP bracelet and $125,466 first prize after overcoming a final table that included Yueqi Zhu (second), Andrew Brown (third) and Paul Volpe (fourth).

$1,500 Dealers Choice 6-Handed Past Results

Year	Winner	Country	Players	Prize Pool	First Prize
2014	Robert Mizrachi	USA	419	$565,650	$147,092
2015	Carol Fuchs	USA	357	$481,950	$127,735
2016	Lawrence Berg	USA	389	$525,150	$125,466

Although this tournament only carries with it a $1,500 buy-in and isn't viewed to be as prestigious as it's $10,000 buy-in counterpart (running June 8-10), just a look at some of the names who have been able to navigate their way into the money and then to the final table proves that this game format really sets apart some of the world's best.
