Money Reached in Event #13
Players who love split-pot games have surely had Event #13: $2,500 Omaha/Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low circled on their calendars since the WSOP schedule dropped, and after a long grind that had some players questioning the structural changes, the money bubble burst late in Day 2. Eng Tang was the unfortunate player who exited in 49th place during the penultimate level of the night.
The 40 remaining runners will return for Day 3, scheduled to be the final day of the tournament, at 2 p.m. on Friday. They'll be playing for $269,612 up top. Brandon Paster will start with the most ammo, coming back with 385,000 as limits are set to move to 8,000/16,000. Eric Wasserson (233,000), Aditya Prasetyo (184,000), Barry Shulman (181,000), Eric Buchman (125,000), Scotty Nguyen (121,000), Brian Rast (78,000), and John Racener (65,000) were among those showcasing their scooping and quartering prowess.
Ben Yu and Tom Koral collected min-cash tickets on the way, while Todd Brunson, Scott Clements, Mike Gorodinsky, and Naoya Kihara found themselves exiting empty-handed.
