After a brutal beat where Matt Edge hit made quad kings against quad nines on a board, the pot-limit Omaha hi-lo event is down to 15 players and on the bubble.
They are now playing hand-for-hand until one more player hits the rail, at which point, the final 14 players will be in the money and on the verge of a final table.
Yesterday, it was Pete Walsworth who made back-to-back final tables, after winning the $360 Omaha hi-lo and finishing fourth in the $360 HORSE.
Today, it’s John Cernuto and Joel Harwood looking to accomplish the same. Harwood and Cernuto both made yesterday’s HORSE final table. Cernuto finished second and Harwood bowed out in seventh.
They are both still alive in today’s event and just a few spots away from making consecutive final tables. Aside from a final table, a simple cash would put Cernuto just one cash behind Men Nguyen for the lead on the all-time cash list.
