WCOOP Event #22: Kravchenko likes this structure

Omaha hi-lo split is one of those poker game where you will see that more action than in some other more or less poker and this final table was an even example of this statement - chips were changing hands fast, players stacks were going up and down. As an example "PieOhMy" started with 816k , then was right down to about 100k, than as much as a chip lead of about 1.3 million and at last out in 3d place.

I was worried just a little in regards to the structure of the tournament - after I played mixed holdem event on the WSOP it looked to me that almost all of the action there has been in a limit portion of the tournament - but here there has been a correct balance between limit and pot-limit game.

"BUCKIZ6" started this final table with the decent cheap lead and kept this position for the majority final table until his victory with a prize of $55,800. He was playing very aggressive. His style, combined with a significant portion of luck, was unbeatable this actual day.

On the general hand, both players has good starting hands and no surprise that there has been a raise and reraise before the flop. "BUCKIZ6" had Kc-Kd-2s-3c and "jamie2000" has Ah-Js-5d-2c . Either one of them hit the flop-- Kh-8c-5h - so a number of the money went into the pot at the flop, the low didn't come and "BUCKIZ6" won the tournament.
