We promised a talented group of players in the smaller Omaha/8 event and we found some tough ones mixing it up after the first break.

Phil Hui decided to skip the first flights of the Ultimate Re-Entry to take a shot at the split-pot game. He has $1.35 million in career earnings including one WSOP bracelet and four WSOP Circuit rings. Hui earned his bracelet in the 2014 WSOP $3,000 Omaha/8 event so he’s comfortable in the meeting room.

Joel Harwood is the father of two-time WSOP bracelet winner (and SHRP team member) Loni Harwood but he has plenty of results of his own. He has $168,000 in career earnings but went 25 years between tournaments victories. Harwood won a Gold Coast tournament in 1991 and picked up his second with a win during last year’s Everglades Poker Open. While it was a while between titles, he still banked plenty of cash with big runs including four SHRP Omaha runner-up finishes.

Finally, Michael Moed is making his return to SHRP tournaments and he has the skill to earn the title. He moved over $200,000 in 2015 and owns six SHRP trophies with five of them coming in Omaha/8 games.

We have the makings of a tough final table later this evening.
