Seiver, Anderson Both Seeking Fifth Bracelet in $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship
The final four players in Event #10: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship will reconvene today here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas and compete for a coveted WSOP gold bracelet and the $426,744 first-place prize, which represents the lion's share of the $1,832,100 prize pool.
Among them are two four-time bracelet winners �� Scott Seiver and Calvin Anderson. Seiver, arguably the most accomplished player left, enters Day 4 as chip leader with 3,945,000 and will be looking to add his first Omaha bracelet to his poker resume. Meanwhile, Anderson enters third in chips with 2,515,000. Should Anderson be victorious today, it would be his third bracelet within a year as Anderson won two of them last September during the WSOP.com online series.
Entering second in chips is Jonathan Cohen (3,670,000), who holds one WSOP bracelet of his own and rounding out the final four is Paul Zappulla, who will have some work to do as the short stack with 1,695,000.
