Title Defender Shack-Harris Thrives on Day 1 of the Record-Breaking $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship

[user153906]

Nível 10 : 800-1,600, 0 ante

This year's $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship saw a massive turnout of 428 players, making it the biggest edition of this tournament in history by ten runners (418 players in 2014).

The first ten levels of the tournament reduced the field to less than a half, leaving only 186 players hope to reach the $938,732 top prize, including the title defender Brandon Shack-Harris.

Shack-Harris was one of the driving forces on Day 1, building a promising 299,500 stack for the next stage. Last year, Shack-Harris ranked 36th at the end of Day 1 with 176,600 in his bag.

The reigning champion is among the tournament top ten but the pole position is in strong possession of Sorin Drajneanu, who climbed to 469,200 in the last level, leaving all of his opponents far behind.

With just over $100,000 in live tournament cashes to his name, Drajneanu certainly isn't one of the familiar faces in $10,000 Championship events. Most of his previous reported notches came in his hometown Bucharest, Romania's capital.

Drajneanu has been flying under the radar so far, leaving the spotlight to many other notable players who took to the felt. As is always the case, the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship drew a star-studded line-up. Drajneanu's nearest rival looked to be Andjelko Andrejevic, who's on 369,400. Andrejevic knocked out Jason Mercier in the penultimate level of the day and managed to add a lot more chips during the remaining session.

Pot-Limit Omaha specialist Jeff Madsen was among those who thrived on Day 1, bagging 219,800. The four-time bracelet winner was sitting next to Daniel Negreanu. Madsen first dropped about a half of his stack but hit an uphill swing when he tangled in a three-way pot against Negreanu and Daniel Weinman.

Negreanu was all-in preflop with jacks and queen-ten, while Madsen ended up all-in on the flop, holding double-suited aces. Weinman had flopped a wrap and bottom pair, seeking a double knockout, but Madsen's aces remained the winning hand. Madsen busted Negreanu in addition to a full double through Weinman, catapulting his stack back over the starting line.

Other well-known players who climbed over the virtual average chip-line included Johnny Lodden (270,000), Dermot Blain (214,000), Ben Lamb (189,200), Dmitry Yurasov (182,900), Roberto Romanello (179,800), Justin Bonomo (160,500), Mike Gorodinsky (150,200) and Shaun Deeb (144,600).

They will continue maneuvering their belongings on Day 2, which kicks off Thursday at 12 p.m. in the Brasilia Room. Tune to PokerNews for the live coverage to see which of the remaining players will make a deep run at the title.

Shack-Harris Adds Some to His Big Stack

Jan_Kores

Nível 10 : 800-1,600, 0 ante

Brandon Shack-Harris has been on a title-defending mission, and his campaign couldn't start much better.

Guess Johnny Lodden’s Hand

Nível 10 : 800-1,600, 0 ante

There was an open and a call before Johnny Lodden, on the button, three-bet to 6,600.

Lamb Doesn't Fall into a Trap

Jan_Kores

Nível 10 : 800-1,600, 0 ante

With roughly 30,000 in the pot, Dmitry Yurasov and Ben Lamb tangled on the board reading .

Yurasov was in the big blind, checking to Lamb, who had the button. Lamb paused for a bit, thinking whether to check or bet. Then he decided for the first option.

That was the right decision from Lamb, who would have only gotten into trouble, surely losing any chip he'd put in. Yurasov tabled with a grin on his face as he was trapping with nuts, ready to drop a check-raise bomb.

However, Lamb avoided any further damage, and the next hand was dealt.
