$250 Omaha 8B
Level 8: 250/500

West coast resident Robert Campbell (Long Beach, CA) has been enjoying his time on this side of the country and is back in action for Event 2 Omaha 8B. He had a big run during the 2014 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown where all five of his tournament cashes came at a final table.

Campbell won the $250 Pot Limit Omaha 8B event and added a second, third, fourth, and fifth place finish. He kept his good run going into the WSOP this summer when he finished 30th in the Main Event for $230,487.

Campbell is sitting comfortably with 24,000 with 63 players remaining.

Registration has closed for Day 1A of Event 1 and the final count is an impressive 415 entries with five more flights available. Players were given the option of surrendering their stack before the end of Level 6 to make the re-entry period but Zach Kessler did it the old-fashioned way.

Shortly before the end of the level, Kessler was all-in top pair decent kicker before his opponent ran out a nut flush versus his second nut. Getting stacked isn’t fun but the timing helped. Kessler is back in the game and they have nine more levels for the day.
