$1,500 Mixed Omaha Kicks off Thursday
While the last few days of the World Series of Poker schedule has been rather Hold��em heavy, with much of the fanfare centered around the opening days of the Main Event, fans of four and five-card games return to the room Thursday with Day 1 of Event #72: $1,500 Mixed Omaha.
The opening day of this event, which features Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better, Limit Omaha 8 or Better, and Big O (5 Card Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better) in a set rotation that changes every seven hands, is certain to bring out some of the brightest mixed game stars in the world (that aren��t currently playing the Main Event).
Last year saw the man who literally wrote the book on mixed games, Dylan Linde, take home his first-ever bracelet in this event. Linde, who authored the outstanding book ��Mastering Mixed Games�� defeated a field of 641 entries to earn that bracelet along with the $170,269 first prize.

It will be interesting to see how large the field becomes, as last year��s event was near the beginning of the series and this year's is near the end. The 2021 edition garnered a prize pool of $855,735, and with so many events this summer crushing previous field records and the popularity of the games in this mix, it��s certain another huge field will be coming out for this one.
Play gets underway in the Paris Ballroom at 3 p.m. PT, with 15 40-minute levels on tap for Day 1, with 15-minute breaks every three levels. Late registration will be open for nine levels (until about 9:45 p.m.) and two reentries are allowed.
The PokerNews live reporting team will bring you all the excitement from this and every event from the 53rd World Series of Poker at it��s new home at Bally��s and Paris Las Vegas.
