It was this tables' understanding that Event #41: Mixed Double Board Bomb Pot was only doing Pot-Limit Omaha bomb pots when they went to two boards.
9♣2♥J♠
7♠K♦8♦
An early position player bet 700 and was called on his left before Joe McCarthy raised it to 3,500. There was a call on his left before Wei Hou also made the call. When it got back to the original better, he went all in for 7,200.
When it got back to McCarthy, he raised it to 30,000 and Hou called. At this point the players at the table called the floor to confirm whether or not they were playing the correct bomb pot. They were not.
The floor then explained that to start each new game (no-limit hold'em, pot-limit omaha) with that sort of bomb pot. This table should have been playing a No-Limit Hold'em bomb pot but too much action had occurred to call a misdeal and the hand continued.
Early Position: Q♣10♠8♠7♣
Wei Hou: K♠9♦6♠4♠
Joe McCarthy: Q♠J♣J♦5♠
The turns and rivers ran out completing the boards as follows:
9♣2♥J♠ 9♠4♣
7♠K♦8♦ 2♣10♥
McCarthy made a jacks-full boat to win one board and Hou won the other with a straight. The early position was left lamenting that they had played the wrong game.

Players have played their first bombs ever at the WSOP and action in the first hands has not disappointed. While the first round of bomb pots did not seem to cause too many casualties, we caught quite some action on the second hand.
Table #67 was playing their first hand of Pot Limit Omaha. Benjamin Fisher opened the action under the gun six-handed. He raised pot and Brian Brunner called in the cutoff. Arman Tyfekchyan then raised pot on the button, which was to 1,800. Fisher and Brunner both called.
The flop came 9♥10♥5♦. Fisher checked, as did Brunner. Tyfekchyan continued for a pot-sized bet of 5,700. Fisher decided to call, at which point Brunner decided to come over the top and raise all in. Tyfekchyan put all his chips in as well, but Fisher, after some thinking, decided to get out of the way.
Brian Brunner: Q♣10♦10♣2♦
Arman Tyfekchyan: A♥A♣4♥5♣
Brunner was at risk and ahead with top set, while Tyfekchyan still had a lot of equity with the aces and the nut flush draw.
The turn was the K♦ and Brunner asked for a black card on the river. However, the river came the 8♥, completing Tyfekchyan‘s flush and sending Brunner to the rail after he had barely sat down.

There is a slight delay in the start of the tournament due to a technical issue. However, players have been called to the tables so play should start shortly.
In the 837th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by Johnnie Vibes and PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson at Level 9 in Las Vegas and talk about the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP)!
Not only do they discuss the controversial shorted-pot hand from the Gladiators of Poker involving Men Nguyen, but Chad actually chatted briefly with "The Master" about it. That led to a conversation about Men "The Master" Nguyen's reputation and legacy within the poker world, and in turn to a discussion on fact versus fiction. Speaking of which, check out our five-part article series on Men Nguyen here.
From there, Anderson talks a bit about his ambassador duties for Ontario, and then talks about being put in the spotlight by Phil Hellmuth, which inspired Johnnie Vibes to chime in with his desire to be scolded by the "Poker Brat." Speaking of Vibes, he shared the details behind how the chip stack of Adrian Mateos went missing after a break in the $2,500 Freezeout, and then the crew dives headfirst into Nick Schulman winning the $25,000 High Roller for his fifth WSOP gold bracelet. Is he destined for the Poker Hall of Fame next year over Scott Seiver? It's a coin flip according to the panel.
The crew highlights a handful of other WSOP bracelet winners from the past few days, and preview the Phil Ivey vs. Jason Mercier vs. Danny Wong finale in the $10,000 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw event. Finally, get an update on the $25K Fantasy league and learn who won the BetMGM Poker Championship for $613,914!
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 at 12 p.m. local time sees the start of a brand new event at the WSOP, Event #41: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em & Pot-Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot (8-Handed) here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The first-of-its-kind eight-handed event draws influence from cash game bomb pots — where each player puts in a set amount and sees a flop — made popular by poker streams.
The Double Board Bomb Pots occur on the first hand of every game change, which takes place every eight hands. All players must ante for the bomb pot. A separate button will be used, and move one position every eight hands to determine who has the button for each bomb pot. The main button will freeze during the bomb pot and resume after the bomb pot is complete.
The starting stack is 25,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play fifteen 40-minute levels or down to 15 percent of the field, whichever is later. There will be a 15-minute break after the completion of every three levels and a 60-minute dinner break is scheduled after Level 9. After the dinner break, late registration will close (approx. 7:30 p.m.). Each player is permitted two re-entries.
Day 2 resumes at 12 p.m. Sunday for the surviving players, ending when five remain. Level duration increases to 60 minutes on Day 2, and a winner will be crowned on Day 3.
