Three Contenders Remain as Event #13 Goes to Day 4
Forty players came back for Day 3 of Event #13: $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo. The event was scheduled to play down to a victor, but it didn't quite happen as three players remain. Hani Awad leads the way with 3.3 million in chips, while Benjamin Dobson (1.645 million) and Konstantin Maslak (975,000) also remain in the hunt.
Viacheslav Zhukov made the final table in pursuit of his third bracelet but busted out in fourth when Maslak and Dobson chopped a Stud Hi-Lo pot to take the last of his chips.
Scotty Nguyen (39th), John Racener (37th), James Obst (34th), Brian Rast (33rd), Vladimir Shchemelev (24th), Aditya Prasetyo (21st), Eric Wasserson (19th), Barry Shulman (17th), and Eric Buchman (10th) hit the rail over the course of Day 3 play.
The remaining runners will battle it out on Saturday as Level 31 begins with limits of 80,000/160,000. With stacks relatively short, expect a winner to be crowned in relatively short order.
