Casey Carroll Leads After $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Day 1
Day 1 of Event #25: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha attracted a field of 1,058 and after a fast-paced and action-filled day, with a whole host of big names entering.
The likes of Vanessa Selbst, Frank Kassela, Allen Kessler, Mike Ross, Shaun Deeb, Ryan Laplante, Mike Sexton, Rep Porter, Men Nguyen and Connor Drinan all played and bust today.
Such as the intensity of today��s action, the money bubble burst shortly before the final level of the day, with the remaining players all guaranteed $1,501. Martin Kabrhel was lucky to survive, as at one point he was all in from the big blind with just one big blind remaining. However, there were six limpers and the Czech player rivered a flush to stay alive.
Some players who bust in the money included Martin Kabrhel (154th - $1,501), Naoya Kihara (148th - $1,501), Manig Loeser (139th - $1,501) and Yuval Bronshtein (116th - $1,579).
Defending champion Sam Soverel also cashed in this event, but bust in the last level of the night in 111th for a payout of $1,579.
It��s also interesting to note that the second, third and fourth place finishers in last week��s $565 Pot-Limit Omaha Event all bagged up at the end of the night. Jason Stockfish (69,200), Steven Wolansky (14,100), Igor Sharaskin (118,600), and Scott Davies (45,900) will all return tomorrow.
There are still some big names left in the field including Bruno Politano (51,200), Nadar Kakhmazov (103,100), Michael Mizrachi (153,800), Dan Heimiller (16,800), Alex Foxen (102,000), Tony Cousineau (24,000), Jason Wheeler (92,00) and Fraser MacIntyre (111,100) but none of them come close to the monster stack of Casey Carroll.
He bagged up 210,800 and will return tomorrow with the intention of getting one step closer to the final table and shot at earning their first WSOP bracelet along with $179,126 in prize money.
The players will return Wednesday at 12 p.m.
