2011 World Series Of Poker Event 35

A six handed pot limit Omaha marks event 35, which should be one of the more exciting events on the ballot. This should be one of the more exciting events, considering the fact that it did not actually happen in the 2010 World Series of Poker. While Pot Limit Omaha is not one of most commonly played events in the World Series of Poker, we have found that many players generally come out to participate in these events - especially big time players and professionals. This PLO tournament is unique in that it is only six handed.

The six handed pot limit Omaha tournament allows players to participate with a fairly substantial buy-in. You will have to commit $5,000 to the tournament to enter the event. The game will start on June 20th, and it is expected to last three days. Considering the small size of the tournament, it should not run past three days. The end date will be June 22nd, in the event that it ends at the right time. Provided everything begins at the right time, the game should begin at noon.

Tournament Updates
(New Updates Posted Daily During Event)

Day 1 Update - With day 1 on the books, the $5,000 six handed Pot Limit Omaha tournament has run down from 507 to 110. The leader in this event is the leading lady, Vanessa Selbst. She has 250,300 chips, but Erick Lindgren is right on her tail. He has 208,700 chips behind her. Shaun Deeb, Tom Dwan, Jason Mercier, Sorel Mizzi, Michael MIzrachi, Joe Hachem, Josh Arieh, Matt Affleck, Jeff Lisandro, Bill Chen and many more are still in the play. Amongst the fallen we have Barry Greenstein, Daniel Negreanu, Joe Cada, Bertrand Grospellier, and Sammy Farha. The prize pool has been built to $2,382,900, with the top prize of $619,575. The second place prize of $383,075 is also significant, but all players are working toward the WSOP gold.

Day 2 Update - The field of 105 remaining entrants has been brought to 15, and these players will return for the third day of play with hope of winning a bracelet and the $619,575 top prize. No one is going home with less than $23,519, so it will still be be a substantial pay day for any participant. The chip leader of the 2nd day is Gregory Brooks, who holds a substantial lead over his next closest competitor, David Chiu. Brooks has 1,294,000 chips, while Chiu has 891,000. With blinds of 5000/10000 and no ante, these chip stacks are fairly wide in a Pot limit Omaha tournament. Tom Dwan fell out in 16th place just before the end of the night, eliminated by Jason Mercier. Day 1's chip leader, Vanessa Selbst, was eliminated in 18th place. Chris Moorman is one of the other professional players still in the running for this bracelet. Shaun Deeb, Jeffrey Lisandro, Matt Affleck, Erick Lindgren, and Shawn Buchanan were also eliminated during the second day of play, so this was a fairly exciting day in terms of the names that had been knocked out.

Day 3 Update - The 35th event in the 2011 WSOP has ended, and Jason Mercier showed no mercy to his adversaries. The young man has earned his second WSOP bracelet in this PLO tournament. Mercier earned $619,575 for his bracelet, earning one of the highest prizes in the WSOP thus far. The final day brought only 15 players back to the tables, and a long and gruelling session of poker brought Mercier into a heads up battle for over an hour and a half. Mercier had to battle with Hans Winzeler, and the two entered play with almost equal chip stacks. Winzeler had 4,125,000 chips to Mercier's 3,490,000. These two had been working toward taking the other's chips, and neither of them could gain any footing. The two got their stacks all in when a flop of 9d-4s-3d dropped. Mercier bet out 960,000 on the flop, Winzeler raised the pot and went all in, Mercier called and the two showed their cards. Winzeler had Ac-Kd-Kc-Js, while Mercier had Qc-6c-5d-3s. Winzeler was in front with the top pair, and he remained on top when a 10c fell on the turn. Mercier needed a deuce, three, five, six or seven to win, and a 7 fell on the river, making him the winner of both the hand and the tournament. Winzeler earned $383,075 for his success in the event.
