Event #51: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship Kicks Off at 3 p.m.
Another championship event gets underway today at 3 p.m. in Brasilia. Event #51: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship (8-Handed) is an exciting new event on the schedule this year, as this event came only in the form of a $1,500 and a $3,000 buy-in in last year's WSOP.
Kyle Bowker defeated Kate Hoang heads up last year to win the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship for his first bracelet and $294,960. That event attracted 473 runners for a total prize pool of $1,291,290. This year's championship event will be a bit more expensive and is sure to draw some tough competition.
Players who enter today will begin with 50,000 chips. The event will be played eight-handed and 10 hour-long levels are scheduled for Day 1. There will be 15-minute breaks every two hours of play and late registration is available through the break after Level 8, or around midnight. The event is scheduled to last three days.

Michael Ross Looking for Fourth Cash This Summer
Nível 1
: 100/200, 0 ante
Things at this year's WSOP started out a little inconspicuously for Michael Ross when he finished 1,482nd in the Colossus III for $1,143. He then went to heads up against John Robert-Bellande in the $3,000 Shootout on Day 1. He started down in chips and worked his way back to even before he made a straight and lost to a flush on the river.
He was then runner-up to Ron Ware in Event #21: $1,500 8-Game Mix 6-Handed for $89,948 and is a constant in the field of almost every tournament at the WSOP this year. He has had three of his six WSOP cashes this summer so far and is in the field today seeking number four.
With only $120,979 in WSOP earnings so far, Ross has a chance in this event to top that with a single score and earn his first WSOP bracelet.
