Bak Wins GPT’s Last O/8 Title – Ever

We had a record low field of nine and played a 60 minute level three, in part to time the dinner break to the NCAA selection show (Go Gators!). We’ve been looking for things to cut from next fall’s shorter season, and Omaha/8 got the vote-with-the-feet (or lack thereof) nod. Even the people who showed up cursed it, with only Bak holding his tongue due to an enormous early chip lead.

The web site is updated. Hank went from the short-stack and a likely bubble to second place, with a small assist from me deciding to take on the chip stack’s monster draw holding a set and no possible low when there were four left.

It was Bak’s second title to go along with a runner-up and he’s now in fifth place ahead of Sean, Phil, and Alex. JD is on the bubble with Shelley (SHELLEY!?) just behind him. I’m a notch ahead of Bak, with Candy still holding on for third. Hank is 14 points behind Tim, who remained in first place.
