A Brutal Finish
Mar 10th, 2007 by Mark Scalia
So after a rough day of playing online yesterday I decided to try my luck in the $10+Rebuys Pot-Limit Omaha tournament this morning on Pokerstars. Spending only thirty dollars, I found myself near the top of the leaderboard after about two and a half hours of play and was well in contention for the $1600 first prize when the following happened:
