Action Recap
Only 11 players returned for Day 2 from the 68 starters, and after a couple of eliminations it was final table time for Event #10: $25,200 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship.
Sean Rafael was the unfortunate soul to burst the bubble in 11th place, and LaDarren Banks followed him out in 10th with a min-cash of $51,000.
Christopher Frank was the first to leave the final table and then Alex Foxen ran out of luck to fall in eighth place, no doubt much to the relief of the rest of the table. That said, this was a fully stacked final table.
Chino Rheem had started the day fourth on the leaderboard and as Dylan Weisman busted in seventh place he doubled up to take the lead that he would never lose.
With six players left, the event moved to the stream table where Jason Mercier — a man who always chases his debts — quickly left the stage after getting his top pair all-in against Joao Simao’s ace-king which spiked a king to win.
Artem Maksimov was next to hit the rail after clashing with the unstoppable Rheem whose top pair and back-up flush draw was enough to extend his lead even further.
Sam Soverel was running on fumes when the action began so he was no doubt chuffed to still be in the mix with four players left.
When he did feel the need to start making moves, an ill-timed bluff against Rheem saw him lose most of his chips and then donate the rest to Joao Simao to collect $170,000 for fourth.
Simao himself didn’t last much longer. An unfortunate timing of hitting bottom set with pocket jacks only to find out Ike Haxton had middle set with kings. The Brazilian banked $230,000 for his podium finish.
This knockout increased Haxton’s stack to around two thirds of Rheems to leave the heads-up battle game on. Unfortunately, though, after only a few hands it was all over barring a single chip Haxton kept behind.
Rheem check-raised a flop of 6♠ 5♠ 2♦ and the 3♠ turn gave him the nut flush while his rival was forced to fold. The next hand saw Haxton knocked out when Rheem hit a straight on the river to seize victory while Haxton went to collect his $331,000 consolation prize.
