Simon Lam

Simon Lam was one of the last Day 1A entries and he is one of the most accomplished players in the field. Lam is fresh off his largest score in July when he took down the $5,000 WPT Gardens Poker Festival NLH Main Event in Los Angeles.

Lam bested the stacked 584 entry field defeating Jake Schindler heads up to earn $565,055 and his first WPT title. His second largest career score came here at The Borgata during April’s Borgata Spring Poker Open.

He fell just short of his first Borgata Poker title finishing second to Sam Taylor in the $2,700 BSPO NLH Main Event. Lam took home over $219,000 for his runner up finish and has now earned nearly $2,000,000 throughout his illustrious poker career.

Lam is off to a good start and has already chipped up to 45,000 in his first level of play.

End of Level 6:  Limits 400/800

Six levels are done and the Omaha/Stud mix players are enjoying their second break of the day.

Jerry Callahan

Among them is Jerry Callahan, who lays claim to two Borgata Open titles.  One of those was earned playing Omaha/Stud High/Low in the 2015 Summer Poker Open ($12,938).

We haven’t seen much of Jerry lately because he’s working on an advanced degree, but he’s got a proven track record in this mix of games, so he’s definitely a contender.
