Will Two Cards Be Enough for Loosli?
Level 3
: 150/300, 50 ante
Sylvain Loosli has entered the field. The French former November Niner is best known for his fourth-place finish in the 2013 WSOP Main Event, but recently he's been up to a rather different trick. It's his pot-limit Omaha skills that have come to the forefront.

Here in Barcelona, he did even better in the same event, chopping heads up with Pedro Zagalo and then winning the match for an additional €10,000 and a trophy, banking €236,100 total.

We'll see if Loosli can make do with just two cards here today.
