Welcome to the 2019 BFPO Event #7: $340 Omaha High-Low/Stud 8B
Today at 3 p.m. we have another BFPO trophy event, Event #7: $340 Omaha High-Low/Stud 8B.
Last year, this tournament attracted 54 entries and was won by Bob Camano for $3,772 as a part of a three-way deal. That was a two-day event, but this year they'll play it out in one. This event is a freeze-out, so no re-entries are allowed.
Late registration is open until the start of Level 10. All levels are 30 minutes long and players get 20,000 chips to start.

Wong's Got All the Clubs
Level 8: Limits 600/1,200
The Omaha/Stud High/Low Mix event is chugging along here in the Poker Room with two more levels for late registration.
She Lok Wong said "how did that happen?" when he tabled his Stud High/Low hand and they were all clubs, and actually one Jack short of a Royal.
It was good enough to scoop the pot and give him about 25,000.
