William ��SlaweelRyam�� Romaine Wins Event #28: $1,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 6-Max ($110,673)
On Tuesday night, the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Event #28: $1,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 6-Max attracted 425 players who rebought 100 times. The 525-entry field resulted in a $498,750 prize pool, and after 12 hours of play, it was Connecticut's William ��SlaweelRyam�� Romaine coming out on top for $110,672.62 and his first gold bracelet
It was a bit of redemption for Romaine, who earlier in the series finished runner-up to Michael ��miguelfiesta�� Lech in Event #13: $1,500 High Roller Freezeout, which was good for $110,979. Romaine went on to notch four smaller cashes before getting his hands on a gold bracelet here two weeks later.
It wasn��t the first time Romaine hit it big on WSOP.com; in fact, his lone gold ring came back in March 2019 when he won the WSOP Circuit WSOP.com $525 Main Event for $92,400. In the live realm, Romaine has $234,614 in tournament earnings including a career-best $142,215 for finishing 61st in last year��s WSOP Main Event.

2020 WSOP Online Event #28 Final Table Results
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | William ��SlaweelRyam�� Romaine | $110,673 |
| 2 | Mark ��victb�� Ioli | $68,478 |
| 3 | Vasu ��kheescoopy�� Amarapu | $45,287 |
| 4 | Stephen ��Chippingggup�� Tyson | $30,474 |
| 5 | Kyle ��Ksparks740�� Sparks | $21,047 |
| 6 | Gabriel ��NJ_FittyFish�� Ramos | $14,813 |
After two-time bracelet winner Anthony ��heheh�� Zinno bubbled in 81st place, the march to the final table began in earnest. Among those to fall short but earn a payday were Brian ��tsarrast�� Rast (69th - $1,596), Eric ��circleball�� Baldwin (59th - $1,695.75), Ryan ��im.sorry�� Torgersen (38th - $2,144.62), Erica ��huckcheevers�� Lindgren (30th - $2,992.50), Ryan ��protential�� Laplante (22nd - $3,690.75), ESPN commentator Norman ��normanchad�� Chad (13th - $4,638.37), three-time bracelet winner Upeshka ��gomezhamburg�� De Silva (9th - $7,880.25), and final table bubble boy Ralph ��sosana�� Perry (7th - $10,673.25).
Vasu ��kheescoopy�� Amarapu began the final table as the big stack but with the blinds up there the chips were flying. Gabriel ��NJ_FittyFish�� Ramos was the first to go after calling off a short stack with queen-ten-ten-nine and failing to get there against the ace-king-king-three of Romaine.
Kyle ��Ksparks740�� Sparks got his stack all in preflop against two players, which was whittled down to one on the run. Stephen ��Chippingggup�� Tyson had the nut low and a medium pair while Sparks had bottom pair. The latter failed to improve on the river and exited in fifth place.
During four-handed play, Tyson got it in on the turn with the high while Romaine had the low. The latter rivered a straight to scoop, and just like that Tyson was gone in fourth place.
Amarapu, who had qualified via a $100 satellite, got his stack in with both low and high draws against Romaine��s top pair, which ultimately held when a king completed the board on the river. That allowed Romaine to take 4.7 million into heads-up play against the 3.1 of Mark ��victb�� Ioli.
It didn��t take long for Romaine to whittle down his opponent, eventually leaving Ioli with crumbs after betting him off on the river. It was all over the very next hand.
