The Online Heads Up event is down to the Elite Eight, as the first and second round matches have quickly dropped this field to the quarterfinals. Some of the bigger name players in today’s event have advanced and are still alive, while perhaps the biggest bowed out in the opening frame. Asher ‘missclick’ Conniff lasted all […]
Event 13 – ‘Big Omaha High’ Level 21 (10,000/20,000) Total Entries: 44 Players Remaining: 3 Average Stack: 293,00 We’ve reached another break in Event 13 and while the leaderboard has more or less looked the same since Day 2 began close to four hours ago, we now have a new chip leader heading into Level […]
Event 13 – ‘Big Omaha High’ Level 20 (8,000/16,000) Total Entries: 44 Players Remaining: 3 Average Stack: 293,00 After Tim D’Alessandro doubled up, he was still the shortest stack at the final table but after getting another double, that low standing sat with Joseph ‘Joy’ Reichenbacher. That’s because D’Alessandro crippled Reichenbacher with {As}{Kh}{Kc}{10d}{9h}, besting Reichenbacher’s […]
Event 13 – ‘Big Omaha High’ Level 19 (6,000/12,000) Total Entries: 44 Players Remaining: 4 Average Stack: 220,00 Since the elimination of Kearns Julian, we’ve seen Tim D’Alessandro fade elimination a few times and the short stack is still alive heading towards the end of Level 19. D’Alessandro just put the majority of his stack in […]
While the main focus of the BPO blog will be on the Day 2 restarts of both Event 12 and Event 13, the first ever Online Heads Up tournament is about to begin in the front area of the Event Center. When late registration closed, 18 players had joined the action, meaning a $9,000 prize […]
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 […]
Event 13 – ‘Big Omaha High’ Level 18 (5,000/10,000) Total Entries: 44 Players Remaining: 5 Average Stack: 176,00 We’ve played through two levels at this Event 13 ‘Big Omaha High’ final table but we’ve let to lose a player, as five still remain. Stuart Gelwarg still leads, with close to 350,000 and Kearns Julien sits second, […]
Event 13 – ‘Big Omaha High’ Level 17 (4,000/8,000) Total Entries: 44 Players Remaining: 5 Average Stack: 176,00 Over the last level, two of the shorter stacks at this Event 13 final table bottomed out below the 100,000 chip mark but very quickly have clawed their way back up to workable stacks. Kearns Julien was the […]
Event 14 – $100,000 GTD ‘Saturday Series’ Level 4 (100/200/25) Total Entries: 280 We’re two hours into the $100,000 GTD ‘Saturday Series’ and while that field has seen some sizable growth through the first three and a half levels, with over 275 registered, the other two events running in the Event Center have not seen […]
The $100,000 GTD ‘Saturday Series’ is about to move into Level 3 but the main focus of the BPO blog is starting up on the other side of the room, as both 12 PM restarts are now officially underway. Event 12 ‘$1,000 Six Max’ returns with 17 players remaining and Event 13 ‘Big Omaha High’ […]
