Final Table Heavy with Accolades
Many of the final eight players in this tournament have been here before. Eugene Katchalov won the 2007 Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic at the Bellagio for almost $2.5 million. Abe Mosseri won a WSOP bracelet last year in 2-7 triple draw.
But the accolades of Katchalov and Mosseri aren't quite as fresh or interesting as those of Sammy Farha, Michael Chow and James Dempsey. Farha is a multiple WSOP bracelet winner, with both braclets coming in omaha -- a fixed-limit hi/lo split win in 2006 and a pot-limit high win in 1996. Dempsey won a bracelet this month with a win in Event 9, $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em. And Chow, of course, was the winner of Event 4, $1,500 Omaha Hi/Lo.
Are we going to have our first multiple-bracelet winner of 2010 tonight?
