Daniel Negreanu Aiming for Seventh WSOP Bracelet in $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Day 4
The stage is set for one of the most eye-catching heads-up battles in recent years, as six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu looks to make it a magnificent seven in Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better. Standing in his way is American Abe Mosseri who holds about a 2-to-1 chip lead at present, but with both players short relative to the blinds, you get the feeling it might not take long when play resumes at 3 p.m.
Today's unscheduled fourth day of play was needed to separate the pair after an extended day's play yesterday failed to find a winner. A topsy-turvy final table saw the likes of John Monnette, Mike Matusow, Anthony Zinno, Ray Dehkharghani and Fabrice Soulier all come up short in their search for a bracelet.
Three-handed play between the aforementioned Negreanu, Mosseri and Yarron Bendor lasted a brutal five-and-a-half hours without an elimination, before Bendor was knocked out by Negreanu.
When Negreanu and Mosseri return today the limits will be 200,000/400,000 with the stacks looking as follows:
| Name | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|
| Abe Mosseri | United States | 5,135,000 |
| Daniel Negreanu | Canada | 2,575,000 |
And here are the results for the rest of the final table so far:
| Position | Name | Country | Prize Money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Yarron Bendor | United States | $167,979 |
| 4 | Fabrice Soulier | France | $119,109 |
| 5 | Ilya Dyment | United States | $86,259 |
| 6 | Ray Dehkharghani | United States | $63,831 |
| 7 | Anthony Zinno | United States | $48,287 |
| 8 | Mike Matusow | United States | $37,361 |
| 9 | John Monnette | United States | $29,582 |
