Just overheard Anna Wroblewski (who busted out of this event a while ago) encouraging Ted Forrest to consider buying into the Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better event (Event No. 6).

Meanwhile, it sounds as though Howard Lederer and Forrest are contemplating a side bet of $700,000 on whether or not Forrest will cash in any event at this year's Series. Can that be true?
