The End of Play for Day 1
This is pot-limit Omaha ladies and gentlemen. It's a gamblers' game where you can nearly always find a reason to stay and see the next card out. We return tomorrow at 2pm Pacific time when we will play down to our final table of nine players. It should be a short day but you never really know when the stacks get deeper compared to the blinds. It's good night from the Amazon room, we're off to catch our breaths.
