Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.

Today sees Event #73: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed) get underway here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

This event will shuffle up and deal at 2 p.m. local time with late registration running for the first 12 levels (two hours into Day 2). There is a 15-minute break scheduled after every two levels. No dinner break is scheduled for today.

The starting stack will be 150,000 in chips with the plan for Day 1 to play ten levels. Each level will last 60 minutes. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 30.

Last year's edition of this event got 449 entries. Ka Kwan Lau, a pot-limit Omaha pro, defeated Sergio Martinez Gonzalez heads up for the title. Lau won $2,294,756 for his first-place finish.

The high turn out and even higher buy-in put $10,551,500 in the prize pool.

"I feel great. It feels like I have been missing something and now it is complete," Lau told the press. "I am very happy with that. I came here two years ago to win the bracelet. I can't really say yet how happy I am."
