Welcome to Day 1 of Event #62: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, which will kick off this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. local (PST) time.
The 2019 reigning champion of this unique event is the four-time WSOP gold bracelet winner and current WSOP POY Point Leader Anthony Zinno.
Last time out, Zinno bested a field of 1,117 entrants to secure the second WSOP gold bracelet of his career.
With two bracelets already locked up this series in WSOP in Event #19: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship and Event #27: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E., Zinno will look to continue on his impressive run in this one.
