The third and final day of Event #26: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, a tournament that attracted 1,293 players (the largest live non-hold'em event in history) and created a prize pool of $1,163,700, saw 16 players return to action with Indiana's Aaron Wallace and Germany's Marko Neumann leading the way. Fittingly, the title came down to the two of them.
In the end, Wallace, a 32-year-old father of two — Kosei and Corabelle, age five and three respectively — with one on the way, dispatched his German opponent to capture the $226,985 first-place prize and his first gold bracelet.
