Welcome back to Event #32: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Mix at the 2017 World Series of Poker. When Day 3 begins at 2 p.m. local time, 29 players will take their seats to continue their quests for WSOP gold.
Leading the way is Howard Smith, who bagged 466,500 chips at the end of Day 2, and nipping at his heels are Erle Mankin (465,000), Yueqi Zhu (448,500), and Igor Sharaskin (445,000). Several well-known players are also still in contention, including Allen Kessler (74,500), Usman Siddique (117,500), and John Racener with a short stack of 27,000.
This event is scheduled to play down to a winner on Day 3, but with so many players remaining in the field, it's probable that play will continue for a fourth day. Play on Day 3 will consist of 10 one-hour levels with 15-minute breaks every two levels and a one-hour dinner break after the sixth level of the day at approximately 8:30 local time.
