June 10th, 2008
The 10th event of this year’s World Series of Poker saw 388 poker enthusiasts take to the Las Vegas tables for the $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Freezeout event. After 3 days of play it was Farzad Rouhani who was the last man standing, taking home $232,911 in winnings and his maiden WSOP bracelet.
The 388 entrants on Day 1 battled until the early hours with only 108 players making it through to the next round. Some of those not surviving the day included Chris Ferguson, Michael Binger, Gavin Griffin, Jennifer Harman, and Max Pescatori.
Jordan Rich took the chip lead into Day 2 closely followed by Daniel Mowczan and Farzad Rouhani, but only eight players would make it though to the final table. Those falling by the wayside included Brandon Cantu, Allen Cunningham, Greg Raymer and Steve Zolotow.
