Split It Up

Thang "Mr. Omaha" Luu
Thang "Mr. Omaha" Luu
It's Day 2 of the $2,500 Omaha Hi/Lo Split event, and fittingly about half the field is returning. We started yesterday with 424 runners and finished eight levels of play with 196 remaining.

Those 196 will be back in half an hour to battle it out for the 45 prize-money spots. It's going to be a long day -- grab your coffee now.

The action kicks off at 2pm local time with Josh Schlein in the pole position as chip leader. Lurking right behind him? A name that has become synonymous with Omaha Hi/Lo at the WSOP: Thang Luu.

See you in half an hour.

Late Start

Seeing as we've been moved from the Brasilia Room to the Amazon Room, it's been announced that we'll be starting at 2:15 to allow people time to trundle up the corridor. Time to get a coffee in!

Level: 9

Blinds: 400/800

Ante: 0

Bye Bye Barry

Several players coming back today were very, very short. Barry Greenstein was one of those players to start the day. Now he is among the ranks of the eliminated. No details available; just amidst all the pomp and circumstance of the bracelet ceremonies, we noticed Greenstein's seat was empty and the seat card was out.

Details Available

Well, only the barest of details.

"I've had a good start," said Paul Parker, "I got Barry's book! Shame he only had 2,000 chips."

Thus we deduce that Paul Parker is up to around 17,000 and is in possession of a lovely signed copy of Ace on the River, and Barry Greenstein is bust.

Rosario Takes a Bite out of Boyd

Shirley Rosario told us last week that she considers the split-pot games -- especially Omaha Hi/Lo -- to be her best games. She put those skills to work in a recent hand to get a small piece of Dutch Boyd.

Rosario opened from early position with a raise. Boyd three-bet the button, folding the blinds and bringing the action back to Rosario. She four-bet and Boyd called. On a flop of {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {K-Spades}, Rosario's bet induced a fold and won her the pot.

Just Out

Justin Smith moved in for his last 2,200 to a raise from another gent at the table, and they were on their backs.

Smith: {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} {2-Spades}
Mr Opponent: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} {10-Spades} {5-Spades}

Board: {Q-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {9-Spades} {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}

Smith is thus busted. Or "boosted".
