No that isn't a typo in our latest chip counts. Leif Force does in fact have 25,000, which by our estimation crushes everyone else in the field at the moment. Force knows his way around a pot-limit Omaha table. Just last week, Force took down the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha heads up tournament, defeated Jason Koon in the finals. He sure looks to be on a good track to make another good run in this event, though we still have a very long way to go.

Arieh Rejoins the Field

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Apparently, Josh Arieh's double dipping didn't go according to plan. He's back at his seat and can focus all his attention here.

golferjosh Joshua Arieh Obviously not a good multitasker. Out of the 5k stud, but have a good pile in PLO. This is where I'm supposed to be anyway! #FKstud June 04 2012
