Event 1 Flight B: Jeremy Halaska Turns the Nuts

Level 5: 200/400 with a 400 BB ante
Flight B Players Entries: 241

A player from under the gun limps in and so does a player in middle position. Nick Yunis raises to 1,300 from the cutoff and the player on the button moves all in for 4,600.

Jeremy Halaska four-bets to 8,200 from the big blind, the under the gun player folds, middle position calls and Yunis folds.

There is a side pot between Halaska and the middle position limper worth about 8,000. The flop is Ts7h4s and Halaska moves all in for 16,700. Middle position thinks for over a minute before folding.

Halaska shows AsKs and is up against the button’s QcQd.

The turn is the 3s and Halaska turns the nut flush and has the button drawing dead to the 9h river.

Jeremy Halaska – 40,500

Perry Klein

Just a few minutes ago, the $360 Omaha hi-lo redrew to the final two tables. With 17 players left, there are only five more eliminations remaining before the final 12 players reach the money and guaranteed at least $721.

Perry Klein is leading the pack with 130,000 followed by Scott Brooks with 110,000 and George Vartan with 107,000.

Chris Moneymaker is still in town after the conclusion of the Moneymaker Tour event, and is thriving in this event. He’s got 72,000. Seminole Hard Rock mixed games regulars Zachary Milchman and Gabriel Ramos are also still in the hunt with 47,000 and 26,000, respectively.

Registration closed on the Limit Omaha/8 tournament and it was a great turnout. Event 2 drew 96 entries to the split-pot game to top last year’s number of 72 by a healthy margin, and that game had a $300 buy-in.

Tournament staff are calculating the prize pool information and we will publish payouts as soon as they are available.

Chris Moneymaker

The Omaha/8 field had a nice number at the start and it continues to grow as they approach last year’s count after less than half an hour. This tournament drew 74 entries to the smaller buy-in tournament and we should push up a nice prize pool.

Chris Moneymaker grabbed an early seat and your 2003 WSOP Main Event Champ, the impetus of the poker boom, has been on a nice run the last few days. We hosted the final tournament on the $86 Moneymaker PSPC Tour, which award seats in the big PokerStars event coming up in January, and he made it through the 957-entry field to finish in second place.

Last night, he was part of the Feeding South Florida charity event and went on to win the entire thing. As a PokerStars ambassador, he was ineligible to win the $30,000 Platinum Pass and it went to second place finisher Esteban Garcia.

Moneymaker is part of a small but talented field that also includes Joel Harwood, David Shmuel, and Martin Ryan (who captured the WSOP Circuit casino championship a few weeks ago at our sister room in Coconut Creek).
