, Caldwell led one final time, and Seader looked him up.
Caldwell had no low and was leading mainly for protection, turning over 
from his hand for the flopped nut high. Seader had some hope and his six low was in better shape than might have imagined – they chop up the pot and Lee’s small contribution to it.

Event 12 is unique on the WPO schedule in three ways. It is the only tournament with
- Mixed Games (Omaha and Stud, played in 8-hand rotation)
- High/Low Splits
- Limit Betting
Players get 20,000 in tournament chips to start and all levels are 30 minutes long. Late registration is open until the start of level 9 (at least 7:30pm, but possibly later following a dinner break). In previous series, this event was a freeze-out, but this iteration allows unlimited re-entries until registration closes.
This event did not take place in last year’s Winter Poker Open, but during the 2017 Fall Poker Open, Nate Parenti beat Chris Reslock heads-up to take 1st place and $6,415.
