OH to be young and rich! I have no idea how these guys do this day in and day out. 15th Michael Mizrachi $13,878 16th Joe Beevers $11,565 17th John Juanda $11,565 18th Casey Kasttle $11,565 The Pot-Limit Omaha $2000 Buyin continues today 14th June with 18 players at the final two tables . The blinds are 1000 and 2000 at the level being played so pots can be huge once raising begins. First to come under pressure was Casey Kastle one of the low stacks. He had paired Aces and one of them suited , finding Michael ?The Grinder? willing to play with J T 9 7 , the flop fairly well sealed Casey?s fate with a 9 7 5 appearing. Michael bet enough to put Casey all-in and with a Ten and 2 completing the board Casey collects $11,565 for 18th place. Josh Arieh had a significant effect on John Juanda today. In a head to head struggle Josh called a 15K bet on the turn with only Ace Queen high. After much posturing on the river but no betting, John shows A 9 ? no pair , Josh?s A Q wining a 35K pot. Three hands later it was Josh again who took on John , the board did not help either player but Josh?s Kings eliminated John Queens from this event in 17th place , John also collecting $11,565. As the players take a 15 minute break Josh Arieh has about 190,000 in chips, Arturo Diaz ( at the same table ) has 180,000 and Doug Lee has 145,000. Blinds now going to 1500 / 3000. ?Barracuda?
