EVENT #34 |
5K POT-LIMIT OMAHA SIX-HANDED |
419 ENTRIES | 1.96M PRIZEPOOL
Naoya Kihara (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 56th) survived a late charge to win Event #34 5K Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Handed. This is the first that a player from Japan wins a WSOP bracelet!
That late charge came from EPT Berlin winner Davidi Kitai (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 18th). Amazingly enough, shortly after grabbing the lead from Kihara - the chip leader coming into final day play - Kitai was ousted from the tournament, collecting 5th place points.
Christopher De Maci (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-146th) did his best to take the title from Kihara once both players were heads-up, but, it wasn't meant to be for the American.
Scott Bohlman (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-571st), Jason DeWitt (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-566th) and former November Niner Joseph "Subiime" Cheong (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 118th) all made it to final table play.
Dimitar Danchev, Kevin MacPhee, David Benyamine, Andrew Watson and Michael Fosco were other notables in the Top 18.
