Robert "Chip Burner" Turner has made the money here at Event #34, and he came up to us with an interesting quote.
"I invented Omaha, you know," he said.
According to Turner, he introduced the game of Omaha to the poker community in the 1980s, when it began to spread at the Golden Nugget as "Nugget Hold'em."
What we can say without a shadow of doubt is that Turner is an accomplished poker player, having recorded cashes of more than $2.3 million dating back to 1982 in a variety of games. He also has a World Series of Poker bracelet in this very event from 1993.

"I know I lasted as long as I could!" announced Robin Rightmire as he was all-in for his last 300 chips as an ante.
Since the hand-for-hand bubble period began, Rightmire has been folding down until this final hand, and when Sergey Rybachenko completed, Rightmire's fate would be decided on this one hand as both his and Rybachenko's board ran out as follows:
Rightmire: 
/ 
/ 
Rybachenko: 
/ 
/ 
With Rightmire drawing dead once six street was dealt, he headed out the door in 41st place as the remaining 40 players were now guaranteed some money in their pockets.
