With six eliminations needed until the players hit the money, here are just a few of the short-stacks that will be looking either to survive or find a much needed double, triple or quadruple-up so that they are a chance of collecting (at a minimum) a $21,905 payday.
In the last four hands of Omaha-8 at table 277, Erik Sagstrom and Frankie O'Dell have been getting into it with each other pretty hard. All but one quarter of one of those pots have gone to Sagstrom who is up 150,000 in those hands almost solely on O'Dell.
