The World Championship of Online Poker rolls on with events number three and four finishing up recently. Both events would award the first bracelet of its kind as the poker variants of Pot Limit Omaha (6-max) and Deuce to Seven Triple Draw made their debuts in the WCOOP roster.

Event #3:

With 1,818 players starting off at three in the afternoon for the $215 Pot Limit Omaha (6-max) tourney, some of the final tablists were snacking on Frosted Flakes and bacon and cheese stuffed omelets as they finished up just shy of fourteen hours later. I'll use the length of the tourney as an excuse as to why I haven't attempted one of this Matterhorn sized tourneys.

Jalla79's wheel faded the four outs of TomNordli's two pair on the river to take home the PLO bracelet and $67,740 after a chop. The results of the final table from PokerStarsBlog.com are listed below:

5. smittymatt (United States) $9,162

Event #4:

Deuce to Seven Triple Draw is a gamblers game as bluffing in this game (called "snowing") along with missed draws, frequently leave players wishing they were playing Razz.

Ok, maybe not that bad.

649 runners began the day with a fresh stack of chips hoping catch a few wheels (7,5,4,3,2), straights and flushes are bad, and aces (as this author found out the wrong way when he entered a 2-7 Lowball tourney earlier in the week) are considered high. Luckily, someone was kind enough to point this out after stacking up my chips when I thought my 7,5,4,3,A was good enough to three bet after the last draw.

ESPN celeb, all-get-out-annoying RaiNKhAN nearly made another final table to go along with the World Series of Poker Main Event final table finish a few months ago. He settled to dance around and scream at nothing in particular finishing in eighth place.

Donald and pstarfish (who might want to consider a new ID name) battled it out heads up for the WCOOP bracelet, and it was the famous Disney duck reeling in the pstarfish after being down 3 to 1 in chips.
