First PLO Round: the Adam Lamphere Show
Level 36
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
All change: the number of hole cards doubled, the finalists returned to snuggish play. Daniel Moravec raised the first PLO hand of the final to 1,200,000 and took it down. Lamphere raised to 1,280,000 on the second with the same result.
The third hand saw some face-up cards: Lamphere raised again, this time to 1,200,000, Aris Moschonas called. On the flop of 
Moschonas check-folded to a 975,000 continue from Lamphere.
Lamphere, relentless in the first PLO round of the day, opened the next pot too, for 1,280,000. Rainer Kempe three-bet to 4,580,000 and Lamphere decided not to contest this one further, but was back in the saddle the very next hand, opening to 1,250,000 preflop; no callers.
