Smith Takes One Down Early
Livello 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
The under-the-gun player raised to 300 before Ryan Smith three-bet to 1,100 in the cutoff. The button and blind quickly folded and the original raiser made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥8♦5♠ and once checked to, Smith fired a bet of 1,200 which was called.
The 5♣ fell on the turn and the under-the-gun player checked once again and Smith continued for 2,000, which was enough to drag the pot.

Early Notables in the Field
Livello 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Josh Arieh was seen taking his seat right on time. Arieh won player of the year in 2021 and has said that despite his lack of study in the game, he's felt he's had a knack at the Omaha variants for quite some time. In 2021 he won both the $1,500 PLO as well as the $10,000 PLO8 Championship.
Tyler Brown, recent winner of the $1,000 Mystery Bounty, was seen here sporting a new look. Before winning that event for a whopping $1,000,000, he was fresh off the final table of the $5,000 NLH/PLO Mix. Upon further inspection, it appeared that Brown's specialty may be in the Omaha variants. Brown logged three cashes in the PGT Omaha Series, including a runner up for $146,000.
Dylan Weisman was also seen in the field. Weisman is a dedicated PLO coach and won this very event in 2021 for $166,461. His most recent Omaha win was in the $25,000 PLO Championship at the PGT PLO series for a whopping, $416,500.

Notables Seeking First Bracelet
Livello 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Fernando "Jnandez" Habegger, started off the series with a bang, getting runner-up in the $5,000 NLH/PLO mix for $330,344. PokerNews got the opportunity to chat with Habegger earlier this week. Habegger mentioned that his intention will be to play as many of the PLO events he can, but will not be playing more NLH events as it's not his game of choice.
Chino Rheem, who final tabled this event in 2021, is seated directly to Habegger's right. Rheem has two runner ups in bracelet events, but the hardware has eluded him.
Michael Holmes, who is also fresh off a second place finish in the $600 PLO Deepstack was also seen in the field. According to a friend of his, he was never much interested in playing WSOP events but the tenacity of a fellow Omaha player convinced him it was worth taking a shot. It worked out well for him, considering he turned his one bullet of $600 into $134,171.
Jefferson Guerrero spoke with PokerNews just before returning to heads up play in the $600 NLH Deepstack and said his game is more Omaha and he was looking forward to playing as many PLO events as he can. Ultimately, Guerrero fell in second place in the Deepstack for $216,941. He assured PokerNews that we'll be seeing a lot of him this summer.
Andrew Neeme, one of YouTube's earliest poker vloggers, was also seen in the field. Neeme has spent more time the last couple years studying PLO.
