The field of 918 has been whittled to 49 after two days of play in Event #3: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low, and it's an Omahan on top of the counts. Kelly Vandemheen hails from the biggest city in Nebraska and also has by far the biggest stack with 466,000. Next best is Thomas Taylor with 288,000.

Others bagging stacks included Eric Crain (236,000), Eric Wasserson (235,000), Robert Mizrachi (184,000), Don Zewin (165,000), and John Monnette (117,000). The field reached the money on Friday and a slew of notable names collected payout tickets, including Steve Gross (53rd), "Miami" John Cernuto (62nd), Taylor Paur (63rd), Allen Cunningham (75th), Aaron Steury (78th), Ari Engel (85th), and Chris Bjorin (99th).

The tournament resumes on Saturday at 2 p.m. and is scheduled to play to a winner, but that may be difficult with so many players left.
