World Series Of Poker 2001 $5,000 Omaha (limit) Result |
LAS VEGAS Apr 21st - May 18th, 2001 |
|
|
11th May -
107 (99) players (+8%), a record. Prizepool $518,950 (+5%). 1st prize $207,580
(+5%). Contenders young and old cleared the way leaving only John Bonetti to
disturb the two ex-World Champions. Bonetti, recently "made-up" into the
Seniors Hall of Fame, had to be content with third. That left a battle royale
for Scotty's 4th or Phil's record 8th Bracelet. Other than his World title,
Scotty's previous victories were in Omaha and Omaha HiLo, so Phil knew the
opposition was tough. Nevertheless he had Nguyen almost out with only enough
chips to cover three big blinds. Scotty fought back to delay Hellmuth's
crowning a little longer.The Final started |
