2010 WSOP: Michael Chow Wins Omaha Split Hi-Lo Event #4



The 2010 WSOP $1,500 Omaha Split Hi-Lo 8 or Better Event #4 began with 818 entrants on Day 1. By Day 2, the field started with 274 players, but only 26 survived to make it to Day 3. 81 players made it into the money, but of course the big payoff is the WSOP bracelet and around $230K in cash for first place.

The 9 players that played at the final table were Fred Koubi, Scott Epstein, Sasha Rosewood, Joe Leibman, Todd Barlow, Michael Cipolla, Ylon Schwartz, Michael Chow and Dan Heimiller.

Todd Barlow was the first to bust out, and earned himself $17K for his 9th place finish. Joe Leibman went out at 8th place $22K richer. Sasha Rosewood earned $29K for finishing at 7th. Michael Cipolla made $38k for finishing 6th. Scott Epstein won $51K for finishing 5th. Fred Koubi won $69K at 4th. Ylon Schwartz won $94K for his 3rd place run.

Dan Heimiller and Michael Chow had a very intriguing battle heads-up, but as time reached 12 midnight, it was officially Michael Chow's birthday, turning 33 years old. And I suppose the birthday wish to win a bracelet was granted as Michael Chow of Honolulu, Hawaii, prevailed and won the WSOP Bracelet and more than $230K in cash. Dan Heimiller took $140K for his second place finish, and missed his chance at a second WSOP bracelet.
