The New Omaha Champ? by Brett on 06.11.08, 8:28 pm

Jamie “The New” Robbins has been adding chips to his already-sizeable stack in today’s $1.5K Pot-Limit Omaha, and has just eliminated Chau Giang in 34th place to increase his total to over 110K. With the blinds at 1.5K/3K, Robbins (pictured right) raised to 7K preflop with 9876 and Giang and another player called. On a flop of K88, Robbins bet 23K and Chiang moved in for 30K more. Robbins tanked and eventually made the call after nearly three minutes to find that he was in excellent shape against Giang’s AKQT. Robbins’ hand held and he found himself among the chip leaders.

Jordan “iMsoLucky0″ Morgan is sitting with over 90K after busting a short stack at his table. Morgan limped in early position, the small blind completd and the big blind raised to 12K with 6K behind. Morgan re-raised 20K more, the small blind folded and big blind pushed his remaining chips in the pot. Morgan held T-T-8-7 and his opponent had A-K-Q-6 (double suited). The board ran out J-T-7-J-5, giving Morgan a full house and increasing his stack to around 95K.

Vanessa Selbst (300K), Eugene Todd (90K), Nam Le (45K) and Carter “devinr12″ Gill (40K) are some of the other notable players left in the dwindling 31-person field. Play will conclude today when the final nine are decided. A bracelet and first-place prize of $227,965 will be awarded tomorrow.
