2011 World Series Of Poker Event 47

The mixed game in event 47 is that of Omaha and Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8 or better. Players looking to participate in this tournament will have to be apt at not one, but two forms of poker. This is a new event going into the year, and players should find this to be one of the more exciting, if not one of the more esoteric tournaments. This should be predominantly a professional player tournament, though some recreational players should also participate in the event. A relatively low buy-in is required, so this is not a tournament that is restricted to players who are less than affluent.

The 47th event kicks off on June 27th. Players will be welcome to join in until then, provided a buy-in of $2,500 is paid. The tournament will operate for a total of three days. This three day event runs until June 29th. If you enter the tournament, be there at 5 PM - the starting time.
