Event 6: Update

$350 + $50 Omaha H/L 8B

They've just broken a table in The Signature Room so they're down to nine 10-handed tables, meaning 90 or fewer players remain. We still haven't gotten the final, official numbers or payouts, but hopefully soon.

Joe Simmons and Gregory Bock

On my first pass through this crowd, I only recognized a few faces. Chris Reslock, of course, and Joe Simmons, Robert Toft, and Gregory Bock, (Union, NJ) who finished 33rd in Event 1 a couple of days ago.

Joe and Gregory are at the same table and just as I was typing this, Gregory got his last 275 chips all-in against three opponents, including Joe. The board read A Q 6 K 3 (no flush possible) and there was a small side-pot. Arthur Mitchell (Pasadena, TX) tabled AJ42 for the nut low and a pair of Aces. All three of the others held JTxx for the Broadway straight, which was the nut high. Arthur claimed half of both the main and side pots. Joe and seat 8 had to split the side pot and the other half of the main pot got cut into thirds. Gregory survived his all-in with about 3k in chips.

Level 8 wrapped up and players were dispatched on a 45 minute dinner break. Play will resume at about 8:45pm.
