I don't play much pot limit Omaha, but that's what Columbo decided the February WPBT tournament was going to be so I had to give it a try. I got lucky early when a rainbow 3-4-5 flopped when I had 6-7, another person who was down some chips raised into me with 6-2 and he was out.
I pretty much got hit with the deck all night. At one point I had AA on back to back hands and took out a player each time. Columbo had a bit of bad luck at the end, he went from being the chip leader to out in 3rd in I think four hands. Schaubs & I played heads up for a while, I was ahead of him 3-1 at one point but couldn't close the deal & we were pretty much even for 10 minutes. In the final hand I flopped top two pair and Schaubs had bottom 2 pair plus AK suited. His hand didn't improve, and I pulled down the win. I'd talk about more hands, but I can't make screenshots on the fly like Hoyazo.
Much to my embarrassment, this is the second biggest win I've had playing online. It seems like most of the other bloggers win tournaments like this all the time. The good news is I can now keep playing the blogger tournaments (and giving back the money) for the next few months. I may have to try the PLO SnG's a little too.
Thanks to Columbo for setting up the tournament and thanks to Biggestron for doing all the math for the standings.
Congrats! Good to see my donking out early gave you the chips to use. And use them you did.

Congratulations on winning the PLO Tourney last night. I was going to play but then I remembered that I really don't know how to :)
