[lkport]

Event #25 of the 2010 World Series of Poker is the Pot Limit Omaha High/Low8 split World Championship. Being a world championship, this event sports a $10,000 buyin. This buyin prices out the casual player and creates a nice star-studded field. Event #25 attracted 212 hopefuls. With the big buyin, this created a prize pool of $1,992,800. Because many pots are split pots, and the stacks are 30,000 chips to start there are 154 players remaining to be seated on Day 2.

David Benyamine and Sammy Farha sit in the top 5 in chips. Ultimate Bet pro and bracelet collector Phil Hellmuth, not known for his omaha play, is 11th after a day of play. A favorite of Holdem Poker Chat and Full Tilt Poker pro Perry Friedman is currently 17th. Well you get the picture. Lots of big names playing Day 2. we shall see how many remain after the dust settles tonight/Monday morning.
