Welcome to our ongoing coverage of the 2014 World Series of Poker! While much of the day's excitement is placed on those returning for Day 2 of the $1,500 Millionaire Maker event and Phil Hellmuth going for his 14th WSOP bracelet in Event #7: $1,500 Seven Card Razz, a new $10,000 Championship event will begin today in the Amazon Room.
Event #10: $10,000 Limit Omaha Hi-Low Championship is set to begin at 4 p.m. local time today. As will be the trend with all of the $10,000 Championship events, the field will be stacked to the brim with notable names and faces.
Last year's WSOP had two Limit Omaha Hi-Low events on its schedule. The first was a $1,500 buy-in that was won by Canadian Calen McNeil. McNeil not only won his first WSOP gold bracelet, but also over $277,000 in first-place prize money. McNeil will surely be on the felt today to compete in a game where he's already proven himself as a top competitor. Last year also had a $5,000 buy-in event that occurred a bit later in the series. Danny Fuhs rose to the top of that event, also winning just over $277,000. Fuhs bested Christopher George in heads up play to take down the title.
Play kicks off at 4 p.m. and the entrants will play a full ten levels with no dinner break. A 15-minute break will be taken every two hours. As always, be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for all of the latest as this prestigious event takes flight!
