Family Affair in the Pot-Limit Omaha

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Looking down the seating draw for Day 1 of Event #25: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha we caught a glimpse of two players with the same surname seated at neighbouring tables. It turns out that Desmond and Raymond Kearney are father and son, out here playing the World Series.

"This is my first time," said the son, Raymond, "But my father is out here almost every year."

"We've played together back home. He won and I came third," he continued. "I'm just playing this, but he's sticking around to play the Seniors event."

We'll have to stay tuned to see if the pair can go deep in this tournament together.
