Three Play Down to One on Day 4
Welcome to the fourth and final day of Event 58: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better. Yesterday saw 31 players return to the felt with a chance at glory, but late into the night just three of them remained. In fact, it was so late into the night that the chips were bagged up and here we are on Day 4. Who will be the last man standing? It could be any of three returning players as they have all proven themselves as Omaha Hi-Low specialists.
Viacheslav Zhukov will certainly be the one to beat today, with his 2,260,000 in chips making him the chip leader by quite the margin. Not only does Zhukov hold the chip lead, but amazingly he took down the victory in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better Championship in 2011.
Roch Cousineau starts the day with the second largest chip stack and proved last night that he is not be taken lightly. Cousineau has already had success during this year's World Series of Poker and in none other than Event 47: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better.
Chris Bell has the shortest chip stack going into the final day, but he has also proven his chops in this format of poker, winning his first and only gold bracelet in the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-low Split-8 or Better event in 2010.
Here is how the three player's chip stacks look at the start of the day.
Player | Chips |
---|---|
Viacheslav Zhukov | 2,260,000 |
Roch Cousineau | 1,640,000 |
Chris Bell | 835,000 |
It's all set to begin at 2:00 PM and PokerNews will yet again be at the final table, proving all the live updates on the way to crowning a champion.
