Event 13 – ‘Big Omaha High’
Level 18 (5,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 44
Players Remaining: 4
Average Stack: 220,00
Pot Limit games bring with them some big swings and unfortunately for Kearns Julien, he just found that out the hard way to bust in 5th place. The New Yorker peaked at the end of Level 17 but just a few minutes into the next period, he was bounced as the first player eliminated on Day 2, falling to chip leader Stuart Gelwarg.
The early action in the hand was missed but the chips got in on the river, with the board reading {7s}{5h}{2d}{9s}{8d}. Gelwarg tabled {8h}{7d}{6c}{4c}{4s}, good for a turned straight, meaning Julien’s {Ad}{As}{9c}{4d}{2s} was no good.
He’ll earn just over $1,500 for his final table run and heading towards the midway point of Level 18, Stuart Gelwarg is still holding the chip lead, with close to 530,000.
