Bujtas Cooking Early

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

One player certainly best known for his Omaha skills is the aptly nicknamed Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas. Bujtas is already up nearing 350,000 after he had a good first level and has continued to build.

He just won a pot where he opened for 3,500 and Espen "locomi" Myrmo defended big blind. Bujtas bet 5,000 on the {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop then 13,300 on the {4-Spades} turn. Myrmo stuck around but folded to a final barrel of 44,100, the size of the pot, on the {3-Hearts} river.
