Welcome to Day 1 of Event #18: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship
![[user235800]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and the 2019 World Series of Poker for Day 1 of the Event #18: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship.
Omaha Hi-Lo has been one of the most popular game variants on the WSOP schedule for many years alongside No-Limit Hold'em. It has been played in several different limit types, buy-in levels, and combined with a multitude of other games. The Omaha Hi-Lo Championship has been a stalwart on the WSOP schedule for many years, and always attracts one of the toughest fields of the year with every player in the field being a noted tournament veteran or a cash game legend.
This year's Omaha Hi-Lo Championship is the second Omaha Hi-Lo event of the WSOP following Derek McMaster's win in the Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo for a $228,228 first-place prize. Paul Volpe collected his third WSOP bracelet in this event last year for the $417,921 first-place prize after defeating a final table that included Eli Elezra (2nd), Vyacheslav Zhukov (5th), Robert Mizrachi (7th), and Dan Zack (8th). Unfortunately, Volpe hasn't made an appearance at this year's WSOP as of yet, so it appears as though a new champion may be crowned.
