The WPT #02 Omaha Championship<\/strong> drew in a crowd of 161 of the world\u2019s best pot-limit Omaha players, and Sweden\u2019s Bengt Sonnert<\/strong> outlasted them all. Sonnert was already considered to be one of the best PLO players on the planet, and now he has a World Poker Tour title to prove it.<\/p>\n

Twenty-four players sat down for Day 2 of the $2,100 buy-in $300,000 guaranteed WPTWOC Omaha Championship, including Team partypoker\u2019s Joao Simao<\/strong><\/a>. Unfortunately for our hero, his tournament ended in a ninth-place finish.<\/p>\n

Ka Kwan Lau<\/strong> crashed out in eighth and burst the final table bubble.<\/p>\n

Shuxrat Salixov<\/strong> was the final table\u2019s first casualty, finishing in seventh place for $10,920, and put Uzbekistan on the poker map. Sweden\u2019s Kristoffer Jakobsson<\/strong> followed suit, his sixth-place finish coming with a $13,454 payout.<\/p>\n
