Andrew Brown Looking to Add More Omaha Titles

A few more names have joined the fray. Graeme "Kiwi G" Putt and Erik Seidel have joined the action along with Andrew "Browndog19" Brown.

Brown may not be that well known of a name, but he certainly is no stranger to the game of Omaha. Back in 2008, Brown took down the $2,000 Omaha Hi/Lo event at the World Series of Poker. He defeated a final table that included some of the biggest names around: Jimmy Fricke, Scott Clements, Ralph Perry and Ted Forrest. Forrest was the player that Brown faced heads up and took him down to claim the bracelet. He won over $225,000 in that event.

In 2009, Brown had another amazing year, but this time his accolades were featured on the virtual felt. He first won the $2,100 Pot Limit Omaha $400,000 guaranteed event on PokerStars in their Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) in April. That netted him over $160,000. Later on that year, Brown won the $25,000 Heads-up Pot Limit Omaha Championship on Full Tilt Poker, besting a field of 35 entrants to capture the just shy of $320,000.
