Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

With Event #42: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed High Roller onto Day 3, there are a plethora of notables who have been forced to skip Event #44 here.

The list begins with defending champion Ben Yu who is the current chip leader of Event #42, while Shaun Deeb, Jason Mercier, David Prociak, and Robert Mizrachi — all of whom would have been likely participants in Event #44 — all have top 10 stacks in the $25K Omaha High Roller.

Others currently in Event #42 who would have likely taken a seat in Event #44 include Erik Seidel, Mike Leah, David Benyamine, Paul Volpe, and Adam Owen.
