17th July 2006
Scott Clements from Washington state won
the Omaha 8 or better tournament today. 11-1 morning line Norwegian Thor Hansen
finished second with 25-1 outsider Brent Carter third. Phil Hellmuth 6th and
Peter Costa 7th.
Peter decided to play in the 4pm PLO
with rebuys. This was added at very short notice. Yesterday Harrahs changed
the PLO (Pot Limit Omaha) no rebuy to a rebuy. Players complained so this
morning the noon tournament reverted to a freezeout with a 4pm rebuy tournament
added.
Harrahs certainly profited from the extra tournament. 154
players entered and the table with John Gale (of Bushey no less), Ram Vaswani
(Hendon, where?), Tony G (Lithuanian Antanas Guoga now of Oz) and Thomas
Wahlroos (Helsinki) were going all in blind during the first level. Tony G +
Thomas benefitted as they are among the chip leaders 10 hours
later.
Peter Costa said he was happy to have a tournament to play
instead of having to go home and follow his final table on the internet. He
rebought 4 times but has a real shot at back to back final table
appearances.
No sign of Harry Demetriou today but if anyone else was
missing I didn't notice.
Roland de Woolf is at the final of the shootout
tomorrow.
I usually go home at the dinner break but a violent lightning
storm forced me to stay at the Rio. I had a pretty Asian companion but
Devilfish decided to sit with us and decided he fancied some Chinese. Not
wanting Devilfish imprinted in my cheekbones I finished my dinner and returned
to see the now three handed final table.
