BrettRichey Brett RicheyDespite being in the 50k I couldn't resist hopping in the plo8, its the softest event of the summer. Hope I just set 1500 on fireJune 26 2012

EugeneKatchalov Eugene KatchalovWas going to play this 10k at Venetian that I only found out about yesterday but as of 2 hours ago it had 18 entrants. $1500 PLO8 it is!June 26 2012
After three players had limped, including 2007 World Series of Poker Player of the Year Tom Schneider, Matt Wood raised to 975 from the button. After the blinds folded, Schneider moved all in for 1,500, the other two limpers folded, and Wood made the call.
Showdown
Schneider:
Wood:
The board ran out a fairly uninspiring and Wood was pushed the pot with trip aces; meanwhile, Schneider was left cashing in his last rebuy chip.
dwpoker David WilliamsDisgusted. Just busted the PLO8 in a sick hand. JJ8 flop my hand is AJ9T. Turn 7 I get shoved on by AJ26. River 6.June 26 2012
Doc_Sands David Doc SandsDisappointed to bust PLO8. Played a 3 way all in and had the best equity by a large margin but @fkassela got me. Nice guy, hope he wins.June 26 2012
With around 1,300 in the pot and a flop of , a short-stacked player in Seat 2 was already all in and three other players checked to the lovely Jennifer Tilly, who promptly bet pot. Two of her opponents folded, the third raised, and Tilly committed her last 425.
Showdown
Tilly:
Seat 2:
Seat 6:
The turn and river ended up giving Tilly the nut flush with an A-5 low, which was good enough to scoop the pot and send Seat 2 packing. With that win, Tilly is back near the starting stack.
The tournament clock currently say 946 players have registered for today's event, the same number of players that entered this event last year. With 26 minute left in the level, and registration open up to the the start of Level 5, we should certainly surpass last year's number.
Table 80 is easily one of the toughest tables in the room as it currently plays host to Barry Greenstein, Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, Freddy Deeb, Steve Billirakis, Sorel Mizzi and "Miami" John Cernuto.
"I lost two-thirds of my chips in the second hand," we overheard Matusow tell Deeb as he sat down. Unfortunately, this stacked table will likely be one of the first to break.
We're hoping we might see some action before then, but if a recent hand is any indication, that might not be the case. You see, in a recent hand Greenstein opened for 400 from early position and was called by both the button and Mizzi in the big blind. All three players proceeded to check down every street as the board ran out .
Greenstein showed for a low, and Mizzi rolled over to match him. Unfortunately for them both, the button flipped over to take the low with 2-3 and the high with a measly pair of eights.
