godfromstock took the lead in week two and never looked back.

KaskaGrrossa finished in third place, but his result didn’t count toward the rankings because he only played 8,873 hands — the minimum required for qualification was 20,000 hands.

The toughness of Omaha can be seen in cumicon’s result: he finished 4th (with KaskaGrrossa excluded) and will receive $3K, yet he lost over $59K while showing an All-In Adj of $71,850. That’s how variance works.

By the way, you can watch reviews of the championship hands on YouTube CoinPoker.
