Event #36: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Gets Underway at 3 P.M. PDT
The action from the 2022 World Series of Poker at Bally's and Paris, Las Vegas continues with Day 1 of Event #36: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better kicking off at 3 p.m. local time.
This is the third stud tournament of the series, but the first that operates under Hi-Lo rules. For those unfamiliar, this variant is a split pot game. Half the pot is awarded to best high hand, with the second portion going to the player who makes a low hand.
Alex Livingston won his first WSOP bracelet in Event #9: $1,500 Seven Card Stud at the beginning of the series while Adam Friedman joined the five-time bracelet winner club after his triumph in Event #22: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship just a few days ago.
Jermaine Reid was the player to take down this event last year. He topped the 372-entry field and overcame a final table that included the likes of John Monnette, Esther Taylor and Carol Fuchs. Reid secured his biggest career cash, taking home the $113,459 up top and his first WSOP Gold bracelet.
All players begin with a 25,000 starting stack, and they will have to navigate fifteen 40-minute levels to bag and tag for Day 2 (no reentries are allowed). Players will receive a 15-minute break every three levels today. Late registration is open until the start of Level 10 (at approximately 9:45 p.m.).
This is a three-day event, with levels increasing to 60 minutes for Days 2 and 3. The plan for Day 2 is to play ten more levels and Day 3 is when a winner will be crowned.
