Story of the Day

Jim Sachinidis has made the Final Four of this event AND he is still in the Omaha event running on the other side of the room. The Omaha event began at 12:30 and Jim accumulated enough chips to stay alive until now. The Omaha event is down to the final 14 and with this Hold'em event on break, Jim has run back over to play his Omaha seat.

Could it be two final tables in the same day??
