Second Life

With Omaha being such a turbulent affair in which variance can run riot, this year, Harrah's have implemented a second chance stipulation, in which players are allocated three extra red tokens worth 1,000 each on top of the initial 1,500. Players can exchange these tokens for chips at any time as long as they're in a hand, although I expect many will wait until they've bust their initial starting stack before 'topping up'. It will be interesting to see what strategy various players adopt; many who believe they have an edge may well dispose of them immediately after the starting whistle.
