The $10,000 buy-in pot-limit Omaha event at the World Series of Poker is usually one of the more popular non-hold’em tournaments of the summer, and the 2014 edition was no exception. A record 418 entrants turned out for the event, creating a prize pool of $3,929,200.
After three days of intense action, it was St. Charles, Missouri pro Pat Walsh who came out on top, banking $923,379 and his first ever gold WSOP bracelet. The cash game grinder doesn’t have a lot of tournament
“I don’t play many tournaments, so when you get here you have to make the most of it,” Walsh said. “I’m mostly a cash game player. But I really enjoy tournaments, too. This [tournament] and the main event are the only two I intended to play this year.”
Walsh overcame a final table that included Matt Marafioti (6th), Marko Neumann (5th), Isaac Baron (4th) and Javed Abrahams (2nd). Other notables who made a deep run in the event included Alex Kravchenko (10th), Tom Marchese (11th), Matt Stout (14th) and Sam Trickett (18th).
