2011 WSOP: BARBERO WINS OMAHA HI-LOW TITLE, WAXMAN MOVES UP THE CHARTS

Francesco Barbaro becomes the second bracelet winner of this young WSOP season. Barbaro wins the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low Split 8 or Better title - defeating Kostas Kalathakis heads up.

Matthew Waxman collects his fifth PTPR Score of the season, a great accomplishment. The only problem is that other the his victory at the Isle Classic, Waxman has been o-so-close in other events - it's almost disapointing for him at this point - we disagree, Waxman is due and who's to say his sixth PTPR Score doesn't come attached with a WSOP bracelet later this month? Let's hope so. Waxman's third place finish earns him 54 PTPR Points, he now enters the PTPR Player of Year Top 15 leaderboard.

Humberto Brenes, Vladimir Shchemelev, Jimmy Fricke and Jacobo Fernandez were other notables who scored PTPR Points in the event.
