Team Pokerati-er Pat Poels is going deep in the $2,500 Omaha Hi-Lo. With 28 players left (out of 424) he\’s about 10th in chips. Should be interesting … though he\’s cashed a few times this WSOP, his net isn\’t too much better than Tom\’s for 2009. He knows how to win it — Poels booked his first bracelet in the $1,500 version of this event in 2005, and fortunately it doesn\’t look like big money payout differential decisions would come into play until the final 5ish.
CK Hua is the threatening name at near the top of the stack-count, Max Pescatori is hanging on in the relegation zone, and in the middle with Pat, @TheMouthMatusow is alive and growing stronger — and he\’s twittering that he\’s on a mission to win it … so that threat\’s out there.
