Inaugural $1,500 Big O Tournament Starts at 2 PM
Welcome to Day 1 of Event #41: $1,500 Big O at the 2023 World Series of Poker here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This is a highly anticipated tournament on the schedule, as it marks the debut appearance of a standalone Big O event at the WSOP. Along with the money and the bracelet, the winner will go down in history as the event’s inaugural champion.
For those unfamiliar with the game of Big O, it is five-card pot-limit Omaha hi-lo split, 8-or-better. A handy PokerNews primer can be found here.
Omaha hi-lo has proved to be a popular variant at this year’s WSOP, with Ben Lamb and Jim Collopy already claiming bracelets in the discipline. So expect to see a big field with plenty of familiar names.
The event starts at 2:00 p.m. local time. Players will begin with 25,000 in chips at blinds of 100/100 and a 100 big blind ante. Day 1 will consist of 15 40-minute levels, with 15-minute breaks after every third level. Late registration is available until the start of Level 10 (approximately 8:45 p.m.).
Stay tuned in to PokerNews for regular updates on the $1,500 Big O and all the events happening today at the WSOP.
Jason Koon's Stack Pulled from WSOP $250K Super High Roller as Wife Enters Labor
Even though Jason Koon bagged Day 1 of Event #40: $250,000 Super High Roller at the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), he will not be joining the other High Rollers for Day 2. The high-stakes star had his stack pulled from the largest buy-in event of the summer after he received word that his wife was in labor with their second child just in time for Father's Day.
Koon, who bagged a stack of 1,740,000 — a little more than the starting stack of 1,500,000 — will be fully refunded for his $250,000 entry, according to WSOP officials.
"Prior to the end of registration in event 40 with more than a starting stack, entrant Jason Koon requested a void and refund so as to accompany his wife to the hospital who had gone into labor," WSOP told PokerNews. "Request was granted. Issuing a refund before the end of registration is clearly within the discretion of tournament officials and common practice at WSOP. We wish Jason Koon and all our WSOP dads a happy Father's Day."

Jennifer Harman Remembers Doyle: "He Was Like a Marshmallow Puppy Dog to Me"
Niveau 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Poker Hall of Famer Jennifer Harman has seen the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in all of its iterations. Harman won two bracelets when the World Series played at Binion's Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas and made several final tables after the transition to Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in the mid-2000s.
Now, 27 years after her first WSOP final table in 1996, Harman finds herself at yet another World Series rendition at the rebranded Horseshoe Casino on the Strip. And while the golden U-shaped emblem outside the hotel is by and large the same, Harman said the modern venue doesn't compare to the WSOP's original home.
"It was such a cool atmosphere playing at Binion's; it's just nothing like that," Harman told PokerNews. "Now it's just like, you know, poker blew up and it's more ... it's still a really cool atmosphere, but it's just different. It's not a small room, musty, that kind of stuff. But it's still really cool. Poker's still really popular, so that's a pretty awesome thing."
PokerNews caught up with Harman last week as she played Day 1 of Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2023 WSOP to ask about her summer schedule, pick for the Poker Hall of Fame and her memories with the late Doyle Brunson.

Bell and Cummings Chop One Up
Niveau 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Action was picked up on a flop between Micah Bell on the button, Josh Cummings in late position, and another player in the big blind.
The board read A♠J♥8♦ and the big blind checked to Cummings, who bet 1,700, which all players called.
Action checked through on the 7♥ turn to the 3♦ river where action checked over to Bell, who bet 4,000, which all players called again.
Bell turned over A♠2♣4♦4♠10♣ for the nut low and pair of aces for high while Cummings turned over A♥2♣3♠3♥5♣ for a set threes for high and an inferior low — they split the pot.
