Final table jinx strikes again
Once again, I made a final table at the 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP). This time, the game was Omaha 8/b (a high/low split game). With a chance to win my historic 10th bracelet and tie Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan with 10 apiece for the WSOP all-time lead, I fell short once again. Although I was able to beat 360 players, there were five that I could not outlast. I did manage to set the record for most finishes in the money in WSOP history at 53, but this wasn’t the record that I wanted.One
