Todd Brunson Looking For Bracelet #2
Over 1,000 players took to the felt two days ago to try and claim the next mixed game gold bracelet in Event #20 $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low 8-or-better. After two days of split pots and scoops, Dale Beaudoin leads the way with 465,000. The only other player over 400,000 is Jason Rivkin, who will bring 418,000 into play today.
Two well respected pros are next on the counts. Can Kim Hua, better known as C.K Hua, is third in chips with 367,000, and while he has earned over 2.7 million dollars in lifetime earnings, he has yet to snag that coveted bracelet. The next player on the list is looking to add a second one to his mantle, none other then the son of Doyle Brunson, Todd Brunson. Todd will have 315,000 to start the day.
Further down the leaderboard, we have a few more notables. John Monnette crushed the WSOP last year with three top 3 finishes, including one bracelet. This marks his second cash of this WSOP, and he will have 188,000 in chips. Maria Ho (96,000) is still looking for bracelet #1 after finishing runner-up to Allen Bari in 2011. Last, but not least, we have Jennifer Harman, who has two bracelets, but hasn't won one in over 10 years. She will have her work cut out for her, as she is one of our short stacks with 80,000.
Play will kick off at 1 PM local time, and we won't stop until we have a winner, or we have played a full ten levels, whichever comes first. Will one of our notables rise to the top and put another notch on their poker belt, or will a relative unknown rise to the top and start to build a legacy of their own? Stay here to find out later today!
