Barry Levy
This is my first time reporting on an Omaha tournament so it was a pleasure to learn from one of the best, Barry Levy (Brooklyn, NY).
Barry's coming off a banner 2010 year with 11 final tables and 2 wins including our own 2010 Borgata Poker Open Omaha H/L. We're all watching to see if Levy can defend his Borgata title and repeat.
He really is an Omaha mixed game specialist and likes the game because "half the field is older and the other half doesn't know the game". That gives someone who knows the game an edge.
Barry exploits his edge and realizes you have to use skill to get to a point in the tournament when you need luck. "You consistently see the same people making the money in these things, there's a reason for that" stated Levy.
Almost all players remain.
Level 2 with 25-50 blinds and limits are 25-50.
