Heather Sue Mercer and Josh Tieman face off in the $5K Shootout.
One of the beautiful things about the WSOP is the sheer variety of the schedule, both in terms of the number of different poker variations being played and the range of buy-ins. For every donkament on the schedule there’s a tournament full of superstars – and with the $50,000 Players Championship now out of the way, the next big event for the poker elite is the $5,000 No Limit Hold’em Shootout.
Play in the event actually began yesterday, with the winner of each of the 36 tables progressing to today’s action. That set up some seriously tough table draws in the Amazon Room today. Add in the fact that the action is six-handed today and you’ve got yourself a true test of poker skill.
