Cory Albertson Eliminated in 22nd Place ($8,064)
If you were searching for proof of the volatility of Omaha, then look no further than Cory Albertson. It seems like only moments ago that I was reporting him as being one of the top five chip leaders, and now, inside the level, he finds himself heading towards the rail with a disappointing $8.064 in his pocket.
In the end, it was previous nemesis Christian Harder who picked up the pieces, Albertson moving all in preflop with and being looked up by Harder's . The flop provided a glimmer of hope, but any rays of hope were quickly distinguished on an anti-climatic turn and river.
Harder is now on 295 and although stoic on the surface, will surely be turning cartwheels on the inside. A debut WSOP final table beckons.
