Dass die Omaha-Community größer wird, ist längst kein Geheimnis mehr und so fanden sich auch respektable 936 Spieler zum $1.500 Pot Limit Omaha High-Low 8-or-better Event # 31 der World Series of Poker (WSOP) ein. Kurz vor der Bubble mit 129 Spielern ging Tag 1 zu Ende.
Das Feld konnte sich sehen lassen und auch die deutschsprachige Beteiligung war gut. Team PokerStars Pro George Danzer nahm ein weiteres Event in seiner Mission Bracelet in Angriff, auch Gregor Derkowski, Isi Bojang, Tobias Hausen und einige andere waren mit am Start. Im internationalen Feld waren unter anderem Allen Kessler, Jeff Madsen, Joe Hachem, Brian Hastings, Mike Matusow, Adrienne Rowsome, Scott Clements, Allen Cunningham, Eli Elezra, Alex Kravchenko, Daniel Negreanu und viele, viele mehr zu finden.
Da Pot Limit und nicht wie bei High-Low Varianten Limit gespielt wurde, ging es doch recht schnell zur Sache. Phil Ivey kam wieder einmal spät, ging aber gleich wieder als er am Flop 
mit 
gegen 
all-in war. Turn 
und River 
halfen nicht weiter. Auch Phil Hellmuth hatte nur einen kurzen Gastauftritt. George Danzer hatte ebenso wie Eric Lindgren einen guten Start, beide mussten aber noch vor Ende des Tages an die Rails.
Kurz vor der Bubble, mit 129 Spielern für 117 bezahlten Plätzen, ging der Tag zu Ende. Bester Deutscher im Feld ist Gregor Derkowski, der von Rang 17 aus in Tag 2 startet. Auch Tobias Hausen und Isi Bojang sind noch im Rennen. Chipleader im Kampf ums Geld ist Eric Rodawig. Viele Big Names sind noch im Feld und man darf gespannt sein, wer sich bei diesem Event das Bracelet samt $255.942 holen wird.
