Per Hildebrand owner of Sportmarket, clubgowi's preferred betting partner is making a deep run at the $10k entry Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better at the World Series of Poker. Coming towards the end of day 2, they have just re-drawn for seats at the final two tables and the final 18 players feature some of pokers big name players.  Daniel Alaei (defending title holder) is looking for a sixth WSOP bracelet, as is Jason Mercier, including his third of this year, which would land him some much publicised seven figure side bets. British player Benny Glaser is hunting down a third bracelet, his second of this summer in Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better and veteran pros Todd Brunson and Eli Elezra will be well known to even casual television poker viewers.

Edit: Day 2 has just just concluded, 16 players remain, sorry to report that Per is the short stack overnight with 180k which is seven big blinds, he is definitely not out of things (more than a third of the field have less that 300k in chips), but will need something to go his way early when actions restarts at 23.00 CET today. Matt Glantz leads the way with 1.066m , the only player with a seven figure chip count.

Good Luck.
