Players Ready for Inaugural $2,500 Big Bet Mix Bracelet Event
Ever since the 2017 World Series of Poker schedule was released, there has been one event that several of the top names have been eyeing. Mixed games regulars Naoya Kihara and Brian Rast immediately took to Twitter praising its inclusion, and six months later the wait is nearly over.
If you've been keeping an eye on Twitter over the course of the WSOP so far, you will have seen Dan Smith, 2017 bracelet winner Bryce Yockey, Brian Rast and Andrew Robl (to name a few) chiming in about the Big Bet Mix being spread at the cash tables here in Vegas, and now it is time for the tournament version to get underway.
We will have to wait and see whether these players can pull themselves away from the cash tables to play, but Brian Rast has already made it clear how excited he is to play this event, tweeting "The @WSOP is having the inaugural Big Bet Mix tournament tomorrow. This is awesome. I can't wait!"
As a brand new event, there is no defending champion, therefore it presents a unique opportunity for mixed games players to write their name into the history books as the inaugural Big Bet Mix champion.
Play gets underway at 3 p.m. local time, with the following games in the rotation, which changes every six hands: Big O, No-Limit Hold’em, No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw, Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, No-Limit 5-Card Draw High, Pot-Limit Omaha and Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw.

"How many runners do you think this will get?" Negreanu asked. "I set the line at 168."
"I hope they close registration now," Mercier said, to which Negreanu and James Chen at the next table over both laughed. "No, I think it'll get more than that."
