Jose Paz-Gutierrez /
Opponent 1: / - Folded Sixth Street
Opponent 2: Cards mucked before hand could be noted

A player raised on the third street, with Jose Paz-Gutierrez and another player calling. The original raiser bet again on fourth street before Paz-Gutierrez raised, both of his opponents called.

On fifth street, action checked around before Paz-Guitierrez bet on sixth street. The original raiser mucked but the remaining player called.

Paz-Gutierrez bet on the river and was quickly called. He turned over his down cards to show that he had a straight flush and scooped the entire pot as his opponent could show a low to claim any spoils.

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.
