Event 9: Familiar Faces Playing Omaha?

$300 + $50 Omaha H/L 8B

Several regular Hold'em players have been spotted in the Omaha field today.  For several reasons, they've opted for the alternate event.

Since the hold'em event is 2 days with day two on Tuesday, folks that can't stick around that long are trying out their luck with Omaha Hi/Lo.

Allen Kessler is one of those.  He and Chris Reslock, who prefers Omaha and Stud to Hold'em, are both in the Omaha event.  "Chris and I have a lifetime last-longer bet" Allen said.  $100 for every tournament that they both enter.  Apparently Chris is behind, but may be able to make up some today.

Also opting for Omaha today are Hold'em regulars Gordon Eng, Larry Gold, and Joe Simmons.
