The End Of Play For Day 1
After a day's play of epic proportions we have somehow got down to 46 players from 759. That works out to more than 70 players per level! This is Pot Limit Omaha ladies and gentlemen. It's a gamblers game where you can nearly always find a reason to stay and see the next card out. We return tomorrow at 2pm Pacific time where we will play down to our final table of 9 players. It should be a short day but you never really know when the stacks get deeper compared to the blinds. It's goodnight from the Amazon room, we're off to catch our breaths.
