Event #22: $1,500 Eight Game Mix Starts at 3 p.m.
Welcome to the coverage of the 2018 World Series of Poker. At 3 p.m., Event #22: $1,500 Eight Game Mix will kick off. Last year it was Ron Ware who bested a field of 472 players to earn his first WSOP bracelet as well as the $145,557 first-place prize. Ware has already made a showing in a few events this year, so it's likely that he'll be back to make an appearance and defend his title.
Another player who may make a showing is Paul Volpe. Volpe has already made some waves this series with several cashes as well as a bracelet win in Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship for $417,921 and his third career bracelet. It was just two years ago in 2016 that Volpe won this event for $149,943.
As a reminder, the eight-game mix consists of no-limit hold'em, seven-card stud, Omaha hi-lo, razz, pot-limit Omaha, limit hold’em, seven-card stud hi-lo, and 2-7 lowball triple draw. Action will begin with blinds of 50/100 and limits of 100/200 with antes being 25 to start. Players are scheduled to play 10 one-hour levels today with eight levels of late registration. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels but no dinner break on Day 1 of this event.
