Event 8: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better. Twenty to a Winner
Ten levels of play yesterday wasn't enough to shrink our field to a final table. We only managed to get down to the final 20 players. A lot of yesterday belonged to the emergence of Allen Bari who dominated the many tables he was at at. Tyler Schwecke pipped him to post and and comes back today as chips leader with 452,000 chips.
Bracelet holders Dutch Boyd and Gavin Griffin are still in the hunt along with former November Niner John Racener. We're based in the blue section of the Amazon room until we reach our final table of nine. From there we'll move onto the stage in the Pavillion room and set up on the secondary feature table where we'll play to a winner.
Play will get under way at 1pm. Here's how they line up today:
