Final Five Competing for Gold as Event #50: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship Crowns a Winner Today
731 players made an attempt for a gold bracelet in Event #50: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. For one of the final five competitors, that attempt will succeed today as a new champion will be crowned.
Stanislav Halatenko enters today's play with 45 percent of all chips in play, and the aggressive Ukranian will look to capture all of the chips by day's end to take home the top prize of $1,309,232 and a gold WSOP bracelet.
Halatenko's march to the championship is not without obstacles, though, as the other four remaining players will look to dethrone him from atop the leaderboard. Travis Pearson, Peng Shan, Arthur Morris, and Lou Garza have all proven themselves throughout this tournament, and all four are capable of taking home the championship.
