Many top PLO players have been spotted in the field already. Among them are Nathan Gamble, who just won Event #46:$1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo yesterday, and Kyle Bowker, winner of the $3,000 buy-in edition of this event in last year's WSOP.
Joining them are two-time bracelet winners Scott Clements and Josh Arieh, as well as three-time bracelet winners John Monnette and Perry Green.
Other familiar faces in the field include Ryan Laplante, Tony Cousineau, Dan Zack, Assani Fisher, Mike Wattel, Naoyi Kihara, James Chen, Yueqi Zhu, Chris George, and Allen Kessler.
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.
