Mel Judah: The Energizer Bunny?

[user92162]

Not content to rest on his laurels Mel Judah is back at the felt once again. Having been crowned champion of yesterday's Omaha Hi-Lo event which finished at around 6:00am this morning, Judah is amongst the starters in today's field and looks sprightly for someone who probably had around five hours of sleep.

"My First Limit Tourney" -- Annette Obrestad

[user92162]

Online stars Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad and James "Andy McLEOD" Obst are seated at the same table today and are chatting about limit hold'em.

Annette was overheard confiding in Obst -- "This is my first live limit tournament, but I'm running pretty good so far."

Annette_15 is probably right, she's up to 5,800 in the early going.

Finally on the other side of the room we see a table for the old-schoolers, with Antonio Casale, Martin Comer, Graham Woodbine and David Gorr all battling with each other.

Fletcher Rivers Cabrera

[user67765]

With the board reading {Q-Spades}

Patrick Fletcher and Abel Cabrera were involved with a raising war that saw the action capped on the turn.

They watched anxiously as the {3-Clubs}

fell in the river and the bet from Fletcher was flat-called by Cabrera.

Fletcher revealed {5-Spades}

for a rivered full house as Cabrera sighed at his misfortune as he flashed {4-Spades}

.

The beauty of limit is that Cabrera is still in the game. He's down to 3,800 with Fletcher now up to to 6,300.
