2010 World Series of Poker Update from the press room: Event 20 Pot Limit Omaha
The top 81 finishers collected prize money. Aside from those who made the final table, former WSOP gold bracelet finishers who cashed in this event included – Ted Lawson (37th), Jay Heimowitz (44th), Michael Keiner (47th); Jason Mercier (64th), Robert Williamson III (77th). Robert Williamson’s cash in this event means he now has 10 Pot-Limit Omaha cashes within the past 10 years, the most of any player. Ted Lawson finished in-the-money, which makes him four out of four in cashes so far this year. Lawson became the first player at this year’s WSOP to reach four cashes. There are currently 24 players with three cashes this year. The defending champion was Jason Mercier, from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He entered this year’s event but did not cash.
