Scott Baumstein

The Omaha 8/Stud 8 tournament was sent on their 40-minute dinner break but not before we noticed the 97th player to enter the tournament.

Scott Baumstein was in the Seminole Ballroom until the early morning hours, busy winning the $600 Double Black Chip Bounty NLH title. It was his second major SHRP trophy going along nicely with his 2018 WPTDeepStacks Hollywood Main Event title.

David Shmuel

We are one hour into the Omaha 8/Stud 8 game and it’s already guaranteed to be one of our biggest ever. There are already 70 in the mix with more than two hours to push it higher. If they didn’t get a single additional entry, it would be our third biggest OE field.

David Shmuel is among the players here early and looking for his fifth SHRP title. A win here would be his first OE title to go along with his No Limit Hold’em and Omaha titles.

AJ Kelsall is making his first appearance in the Seminole Ballroom this series. The former SHRP H.O.R.S.E. champ cashed six times this summer during the WSOP online series including a big win in Global Casino Championship.
