Welcome to Event #32: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Mix

Welcome back to the 2017 World Series of Poker at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. Next up on the schedule is Event #32: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Mix. This event was held for the first time last year, and Allan Le triumphed over a 668-player field to earn $189,223 and the first gold bracelet of his career.

The rotation in this event consists of three variants of Omaha hi-lo: pot-limit Omaha hi-lo, fixed-limit Omaha hi-lo, and big O (five card pot-limit Omaha hi-lo). Each game will be played for seven hands before moving on to the next, and a maximum of seven players will be seated at each table.

Cards will be in the air at 3 p.m. local time and Day 1 play will consist of 10 one-hour levels. All players will begin with 7,500 chips. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels and late registration will run through the end of Level 6, closing at approximately 9:45 p.m.

Nível 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Players are still steadily registering and taking their seats in this event, and among them is defending champion Allan Le.

Mike Leah Slips

[user139916]

Nível 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Big-O

Allen Kessler limped from under the gun, the player in the cutoff called, Matt Vengrin completed the small blind, and Mike Leah checked his option.

The flop came down and Vengrin checked to Leah who bet 150. Kessler folded, the cutoff raised to 600, Vengrin folded, and Leah called. Both players proceeded to check the turn and river.

The player in the cutoff showed for a set of eights, Leah flashed for two pair as he mucked, and his opponent collected the pot.
