Norman Chad Still in Contention at Day 2 of Event #27: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Cards in the Air at 2 p.m.
It's time for Day 2 of Event #27: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better at the 50th Annual World Series of Poker and cards will be in the air at 2 p.m. The tournament attracted 460 players and a total of 195 players survived the first day of the tournament. Dave Alfa sits on top of the leaderboard with 87,900 in chips.
Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better was already on display at this year's World Series of Poker but only as a part of the mix in H.O.R.S.E. and in eight-game. The game is now played by itself and plenty of familiar faces came down to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. Voice of the WSOP Norman Chad is still in the tournament with 48,000, three-time bracelet winner Barbara Enright bagged 68,800, and six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu ended Day 1 with 38,600.
Benjamin Dobson took down the tournament in 2018. He won the tournament by beating a 596-player field to capture his first piece of World Series of Poker jewelry. He won the $173,528 first-place prize and he is looking to repeat his performance from last year. He ended Day 1 of the tournament with 20,000 chips and the first limits of the day will be 1,000/2,000.
The winner of the tournament takes home $142,801 and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet. Cash will be reserved for 69 players that will cash for at least $2,265. A spot at the final table will guarantee a player at least $9,211. The plan is to play ten 60-minute levels today.
PokerNews will be on the tournament floor to provide continuous coverage of the tournament.
