Event 9, Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better - Live Updates
Day 3 Live Updates
Kravchenko Last Man Standing
5 years ago
In the end there could be only one and that one was Alex Kravchenko. Although play went be back and forth for some time it seemed that Kravchenko would not be denied.
In the end, Kravchenko's huge chip lead proved to be an insurmountable challenge for the charismatic Bryan Devonshire. The final hand played out like this:
Devonshire decided to push all-in on a board of 4♣ Q♥ Q♣ 4♠ 8♦. He knew it was a mistake the moment he flipped over A♣ A♠ 8♠ 5♣. His concerns were confirmed when Kravchenko showed A♦ 10♠ 9♦ 4♥ for trip fours. Someone from the crowd shouted, "Go Moscow!" and it was all over.
Congratulations to Kravchenko the 2007 WSOP Event 9 winner!
Varner Varnished
5 years ago
John Varner has been eliminated from the final table for Event 9. Bryan Devonshire busted Varner with a flush.
We now move to heads-up play between Devonshire and Alex Kravchenko.
More Bustages
5 years agoAfter a relatively slow start the casualities are starting to pile up. Bryan Adams and J.R. Reiss have both been eliminated from the tournament.
Adams was eliminated by Bryan Devonshire when Devonshire hit a full house. Reiss was eliminated in an unknown hand against Alex Kravchenko and John Varner.
Truckload of Eliminations!
5 years agoAfter merely surviving for most of the day Jordan Morgan, Jeff Calkins and Yueqi "Rich" Zhu have all been eliminated. It even happened in consecutive hands.
Calkins was eliminated first when he ran into two players that both had better hands then he did. Morgan was next in an unknown series of events and finally Zhu was busted by Bryan Andrews who hit a set of jacks.
Goodbye short stacks!

Update Summary 1 for Event 9, Day 3
5 years agoWhere Are All the Cool Kids?
Apparently Omaha Split is not one of the most popular games to watch at the WSOP. Only a handful of people are on the rail while the main draw of the day continues to be Event 8, a No-Limit event.
Dodging Bullets
Yueqi "Rich" Zhu is just trying to stay alive after losing a low and a high in one hand. It looked like he wouldn't survive the big blind but he actually doubles with jacks full.
