Event 7: Final Table is in the Money

$240 Omaha High/Low
Level 16: 5,000/10,000
Players Remaining: 6/55

With seven players left, the board was 9d8c7h6d and Joseph Patalano got his last 8,500 in the pot. It folded to fellow shortstack Jerry Kowalsky and he called off the last of his chips. Patalano tabled JhTd8d5d for a straight. Kowalsky had AdKdAh8h for a flush draw. The board completed with the As. With neither player claiming a low, Patalano’s straight was best and he busted Kowalsky on the bubble.

The final six players are now in the money.  David Prociak retains his chip lead with about 280,000 of the 550,000 chips in play.

Here’s a look at the final tablists who left without a payday:
