Another Test of Versatility Starts Today as Event #23: $1,500 Eight Game Mix Kicks Off

Following the $1,500 versions of Dealer's Choice and H.O.R.S.E. events that have both found their winners earlier this week, the mixed-game action at 2019 World Series of Poker now moves on to Event #23: $1,500 Eight Game Mix, a three-day event which starts today at 3 p.m. local time.

The variety of disciplines included in 8-Game allows the participants to showcase their prowess in both limit and big bet games with the traditional H.O.R.S.E. disciplines enhanced by the presence of No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and 2-7 Triple Draw. The event rules allow players an optional single re-entry should they need it.

This year marks the fifth time the $1,500 8-Game Mix has been included among bracelet events, with the debut edition won by none other than Phil Ivey back in 2014. The tournament then had a one-year hiatus before returning to the schedule in 2016, and it has become a permanent fixture ever since then.

The turnouts for the event undoubtedly prove the popularity of the $1,500 8-Game. Each of the previous four appearances on WSOP schedule resulted in a field attacking 500 entries, always falling just short of the mark. Paul Volpe, Ron Ware, and Philip Long have followed in Ivey's footsteps and emerged as champions.
