The series' first event is well under way on one side of the room, but there's another event set to begin for those who are otherwise unoccupied. This afternoon's event is the $365 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, the lone non-hold'em event on the calendar for this stop.
Last year, this tournament was spread in the hi-only format, and it attracted 124 entries. Texas native Gerardo Tavira outlasted them all, picking up his first gold ring and the top prize of more than $10,000. A similar turnout can be anticipated today.
Here are the details for this matinee:
- This is a two-day event
- Players begin with 10,000 in tournament chips
- Levels 1-12 are 30 minutes apiece
- Levels 13-19 are 40 minutes apiece
- Late registration and unlimited re-entry are available until the start of Level 9 (8:30 p.m.)
Cards go in the air at 4 p.m.
