Earlier this week, the Rendez-Vous A Paris kicked off with it's first ever Omaha Cup. With the popularity of Omaha in Europe, it's only fitting that the Aviation Club create this new 5,000 Euro buy-in event.
While many decided to keep their focus on the WPT Grand Prix de Paris Main Event, 65 runners decided to test their Omaha skills and participant in the first edition of the event.
The event attracted big names such as PTPR #3 ranked player Jason Mercier, Freddy Deeb and defending Omaha champ (before it become the 5K Euro Omaha Cup) Elie Payan, it was French star Anthony Lellouche who brought home the bacon, and the €71,760 top prize.
Lellouche collected his fourth PTPR Score of the year with the win, he is currently tied for 47th on the 2011 PTPR Leaderboard. Lellouche defeated Davidi Kitai heads up (the top 3 players actually chopped the top prizes, deciding on prize money/position by size of chip stacks).
That third place finisher was Vadzim Kursevich - he earns his third PTPR Score of the year as did 7th place finisher Tristan Clemencon. Juha Vilkki picked up his second score of the year while 8th place finisher Michael Fratty was the other notable player at the final table.
