One of the players on top of the counts is Kate Hoang. Hoang is an Omaha Hi-Lo aficionado and finished 2nd in the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo event back in 2016, good for a $182,281 payday. Hoang also made the final table last year in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo championship, finishing 8th for $44,738.
Today, Hoang was already up to 90,000 when she played a hand against Julien Martini. Hoang had opened in middle position and had called a three-bet from Martini from the big blind.
On a board, Hoang called each street as Martini kept firing. Martini showed for two pair, Hoang showed for a seven-six low and the two chopped the pot.

Is the Real Grinders lounge a look into the future for the real grinders of Poker? Some of Pokers biggest names can be found in the lounge as you step inside. They all have the same ideas, relax, chat and rejuvenate. During the WSOP 2018 over fourteen thousand Real Grinders members could walk through the lounge where they will rest, eat & drink on their poker break. We found Jeff Madsen and Dan Heimiller hanging out there today between events. Real Grinders very own Raymond Davis was also there with quite a number of Real Grinders members lounging.
Robert Mizrachi started the day with a mere 17,100 chips, 17 big bets, and that stack size has since changed by a lot. Yet another pot against Michael Zepek ended with the chips being pushed towards Mizrachi, who had his bets on turn and river of a board called by Zepek.
"Flush and a low," Mizrachi announced and turned over . That ended up as the winner as Zepek mucked, and Mizrachi boosted his stack further.
