$2,200 Deep Stack Pot Limit Omaha Level 14: 4,000/8,000 Players Remaining: 5 of 79
Chance Kornuth (Las Vegas, NY)
The biggest pot of the tournament happened when the two biggest stacks went at each other. Scott Clements, Chance Kornuth, and Charbel Azzi went to the flop when things went huge.
Clements led out for 60,000 and Kornuth announced “pot” for 348,000. Azzi moved out of the way and Clements thought things out for a few minutes. With ~75,00 sitting behind Kornuth, Clements put him all-in and got a call.
Kornuth: Clements:
Kornuth had the top pair against Clement’s wrap draw. The turn brought no change but the game ended for Kornuth on the river.
Chance Kornuth – Eliminated in 6th place ($9,840) Scott Clements – 860,000 (143 bb)

Chance Kornuth opened to 20,000 and Joseph Irgon took his time to think about his action in the big blind. He only had 50,000 behind and called at risk.
Irgon: Kornuth:
The board ran to ship the pot to Kornuth and send Irgon out in 8th place.
Joseph Irgon – Eliminated in 8th place ($6,320) Chance Kornuth – 335,000 (56 bb)

With short stacks all around, there were a few shoves before Mikhail Zlotnik lost most of his stack after doubling up Eric Penner.
Zlotnick was left with only 6,000 plus his small blind and he moved all-in when action folded to him. Luis Calvo called in the big blind without looking.
Zlotnick: Calvo:
The board ran out to trip up Calvo and send Zlotnick out first at the final table.
Mikhail Zlotnick – Eliminated in 9th place ($4,740) Luis Calvo – 120,000 (20 bb)

Scott Clements Leads Final 9 of $2,200 PLO
Event 28 was one of the last big buy-in tournaments on the schedule and they played a little of the $2,200 four-card variety of the game. The tournament drew 79 PLO lovers to create a $158,000 prize pool.
The last nine players earned a piece of the money and they are about to return to play it down. Two-time WSOP winner (and WPT champ) Scott Clements comes back today with the lion’s share of the chips. He has 732,000 of the 3,160,000 chips in play with the rest split between the other eight players.
Seminole Hard Rock Poker Team Member Chance Kornuth sits in second position with 213,000 but the rest will need to make something happen in a hurry if they want the trophy later today.
They are unbagging their chips and will be back underway shortly.

Scott Clements Leads Final 9 of $2,200 PLO
Scott Clements is regarded as one of the most respected Omaha players in the world and is showing why as he takes an astounding chip lead into the final table of the $2,200 Pot Limit Omaha.
The Washington native has won WSOP bracelets in both the split-pot and high-only variants of the game, as well as a plethora of deep runs and other titles in all variants. Clements enters the final day of play with almost half of the chips in play.
While Clements has a massive lead, one of the latest additions to the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Team, Chance Kornuth, sits in second chip position.
Kornuth is top flight professional poker player in his own right with over $3.6 million in tournament earnings and a WSOP bracelet in the 2010 $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha for over $508,000.
The event kicked off at 5 p.m. on Tuesday and when the late registration and re-entry period was closed, there were 79 entrants, which created a prizepool of $158,000 that would be divided up among the top nine finishers.
They reached the unofficial final table of 10 players just before the start of the last scheduled level of the day, but after finishing the last level and still having 10 players remaining, they continued play until they lost one more player and they could return nine players, all in the money, for Day 2.
It was another well-known pro, Ari Engel, who busted in 10th and was the unfortunate bubble boy. Engel headed to the rail without a payday, but earned a cash earlier in the day after busting from the $10,000 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Finale in 23rd place for $27,620.
Charlel Azzi also earned himself a seat at the final table and has secured his second cash of the series. His first cash came in the $3,500 WPT Main Event. He netted $30,228 for his 19th place finish.
The final nine players are all guaranteed at least a cash of $4,740, but are all within arms reach of the $47,400 first place prize money. Cards get back in the air on Wednesday at 2 p.m. to play down to a winner.
Here is a look at the seating arrangement for the final table:

The 79 players that started this event are now down to the final 10 and have re-drawn for seats at the unofficial final table of 10. Along with being on the official final table bubble, they are also on the money bubble.
The next player eliminated is the bubble boy and the remaining nine players are guaranteed a cash of at least $4,740.
Scott Clements is the current chip leader with 450,000 to pace the field. The schedule is for them to play through the end of level 12 and then bag up for the night. They will finish the event tomorrow with the same seating arrangement.
