2007 World Series of Poker
Event 36 - $5,000 Omaha Hi Lo
Day: 3
The Most Horrible Sentence In the English Language Is . . .
We've heard that a fair few times over the last two hours. The game is Omaha Hi-Lo, it's the nature of the beast. The players build a big 'ol pile of pink chips in the middle of the table . . . and then they divvy 'em up fifty-fifty. And then we start all over again.
No Chop This Time
Another Big Win for Guth
Bad Karma, Man!
"Don't jinx yourself!" one of his female supporters yelled from the stands. We'll have to wait and see to find out if he did.

John Guth Wins the $5,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Title
But we'd had enough drama for the day -- the turn was the , giving Guth a full house, the pot, and the title.
You won't see a happier champion the rest of the Series. He jumped up and down and screamed almost incoherently. He said, incredulous, "This is my bracelet!!?? This is my money??!! Are these my bricks??"" He hugged and high-fived his friends and picked up the bracelet. "Can I put this on?" he asked, forgetting that the bracelet was, in fact, all his.
Guth took time to shake hands one last time with Robert Stevanovski, who played magnificently and never lost his cool as the match see-sawed back and forth. Stevanovski won $218,456 as our runner-up.
And in addition to the bracelet he couldn't believe was his, John "Sir Scoopalot" Guth won $363,216. That's a lotta bricks.
