World Series of Parker · Event 2-3

Eric Denny Wins Back to Back, and Takes Out Six of the Nine

Big O, a game the series had never played — and Angela Cain’s best result yet.

June brought a game the series had not played before: Big O, five-card Omaha split high and low. More cards means more of everything — more draws, more counterfeits, more players convinced they have half the pot. Eric Denny made six of the nine eliminations and won $135.

Six of nine is the most one-sided night the WSOP has had. He knocked out the players who finished second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth — which is to say everybody except the man who went out sixth.

It is his second win in a row and his third in the series, one clear of the field, and it comes in a game nobody at the table had played here before.

Angela Cain was second for $90, her best WSOP result in three events, with her husband Lance Cain third.

Where the money went

The undercard

Lance Cain, who won the February event, bubbled in third. Lee Ugarte was fourth and Jeff Ferguson fifth.

Andrew Shier rebought and finished last of the eight.

The bigger picture

Three events, three games, and Eric Denny now leads the series table on 114.00, thirteen ahead of Lance Cain. Two remain: 7 Card Stud in August and H.O.R.S.E. in October.

World Series of Parker, Event 2-3 — Friday, June 18, 2021. Big O (Omaha 5 Hi/Lo), $25 buy-in, 8 entrants, 2 rebuys, two paid from a $225 prize pool.
