Event 8: Cory Blum Leads In the Money w/ 11 Left

The Money Bubble didn’t last long in Event 8 ($240 Omaha 8 or Better), and the unfortunate Bubble Girl was Gail Cohen, who finished 13th.

The remaining 12 players are guaranteed at least $368.

Tom Nasuti was eliminated shortly after the bubble burst, before we could take an updated chip count. Level 18 just began with increased blinds of 2,500-5,000, and limits of 5,000-10,000. (The numbers in parentheses represent the number of big bets in each stack.)

1.  Cory Blum  –  170,000  (17 BB)
2.  Marla Crumpler  –  121,000  (12 BB)
3.  Robert Wachtel  –  107,000  (10 BB)
4.  Ronald Brooks  –  72,000  (7 BB)
5.  Jonathan Gallin  –  70,000  (7 BB)
6.  Debbie Mitchell  –  63,000  (6 BB)
7.  Bob Leff  –  52,000  (5 BB)
8.  Zhen Cai  –  44,000  (4 BB)
9.  Aaron Salamon  –  42,000  (4 BB)
10.  Daniel Genachte  –  40,000  (4 BB)
11.  Daniel Yanofski  –  21,000  (2 BB)

12th:  Tom Nasuti  –  $368

As soon as one more player is eliminated, they will combine to a single final table and play down to a winner.
