Event #87: $2,500 Mixed Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Jour 1 a débuté
As the World Series of Poker nears the end at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, it is time for one of the most popular mixed formats to take center stage. After a five year hiatus, the series has brought back a popular tournament format in Event #87: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better. The combination of the two split-pot games, the O. and the E. from the H.O.R.S.E. tournament rotation, has proven to be a success in the past.
In 2018, David Brookshire took down this event for his first bracelet, making him the reigning O.E. champion. Brookshire defeated a field of 402 entrants and took a first place prize of $214,291. With no other mixed game format tournament beginning today, it seems likely that the turnout for this event will be high.

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 Or Better
Kyle Miholich raised from the cutoff and on the button Mike Matusow three bet which saw Andrew Barber call in the big blind not seeing that Matusow had three bet. He put in the correct amount and Miholich called behind him.
The flop came out Q♣4♣8♥ and action checked to Matusow who bet and both players called.
Action checked through on the turn 6♠ and the river A♥ saw Barber bet which got Miholich out of the way and Matusow said "let's chop this pot," while tossing in the call.
"We're not chopping," replied Barber who turned over 7♠5♣4♥2♣ for an eight high straight and a seven-five low which was good for both halves as Matusow frustratingly flashed A♦Q♥5♦ before tossing his hand into the muck.
