It was late last night (or early this morning depending on how you look at it) when the remaining players in yesterday’s $400 buy-in pot limit Omaha ring event elected to move the restart up to 1pm. So it is as the seven left are set to get back in their seats in about 20 minutes to bet and raise their way to a gold ring.

The tournament drew 102 entries generating a $33,660 prize pool. All still in are assured $1,388 with the winner’s share good for $10,099 and a gold ring.
