Thang Luu is enjoying his $243,356 taken home after winning Event #6's Omaha Hi/Lo event. 832 players entered the largest O8 event the WSOP has fielded according to the final table write up by Pokernews.com reporter John "Falstaff" Hartness. While Luu is enjoying his new jewelry, Scott Clements (pictured above) was trying to add another notch to his impressive Omaha belt at the final table, as he has taken home Omaha bracelets in 2006 and 2007. Clements had to settle for ninth place when his near chip lead stack lead at the beginning of the table lost some steam and finally taken completely by James Prichard's full house.
