Eli Elezra Leads Final Six Players in Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship
When Day 4 of Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship begins at 2:00 p.m. local time, the last 6 remaining players out of the 169-entry field will resume battle at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, each in hot pursuit of the $417,921 first prize and WSOP gold. Leading the way is three-time bracelet winner Eli Elezra, who began Day 3 as the chip leader bagged 2,700,000 chips at the conclusion of play.
Although Elezra has a substantial lead �� the next largest stack belongs to Adam Coats with 1,820,000 �� he's facing some unsurprisingly tough competition. Two-time bracelet winners Paul Volpe (1,600,000) and Viacheslav Zhukov (970,000) are still in the hunt, and they're joined by accomplished players Kyle Miaso (1,275,000) and an extremely short-stacked Dustin Dirksen (140,000). Here's a look at the seating chart:
Seat | Player | Country | Stack |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Dustin Dirksen | United States | 140,000 |
2 | Viacheslav Zhukov | Russia | 970,000 |
3 | Adam Coats | United States | 1,820,000 |
4 | Paul Volpe | United States | 1,600,000 |
5 | Kyle Miaso | United States | 1,275,000 |
6 | Eli Elezra | United States | 2,700,000 |
