Aleksey Filatov raised from under the gun and Stephen Johnson moved all in next to act for 35,000. It folded back around to Filatov and he called.
Filatov: Johnson:
The flop came to pair Johnson’s eight while Filatov flopped the nut low. Johnson improved to trip eights on the turn but Filatov made a diamond flush on the river to scoop the pot and send Johnson out in eighth place.
Aleksey Filatov – 410,000 (21 BB) Stephen Johnson – Eliminated in 8th Place ($2,600)
The $1,100 Limit Omaha 8 Championship drew a great group of 67 players who had one shot in the freeze-out format. The tournament played down to the final table nine and they return at noon, in the money, and grinding and chopping their way to the title.
William “Jeter” Brock leads the return with eight others trying to chase him down. Everyone is guaranteed at least $2,275 but everyone wants the $22,750 top prize and Showdown trophy.
Cards go back in the air at the top of the hour and we’re ready to crown our Limit Omaha 8 Champ.
