Prize - $240,057

If one talks about ruling over Omaha, Nebraska, their Kingdom will be overrun with elk, turkeys, and a remarkable lack of people. For those who want to be top dog playing Omaha style poker, they will probably come into conflict with Frankie O'Dell.

With four events running simultaneously in the Amazon Room at the Rio All-Suite Hotel Casino, it was a busy Saturday at the World Series of Poker. The closely followed shorthanded Event 30 came to an end at the start of this weekend in Las Vegas, and two more events started up to take its place, while the third $2,000 No-Limit event chugged away.

Winner - Justin Scott

Prize - $842,262

This is technically a new event this year, as last year there were only two No-Limit Texas Holdem events with a $2,000 buy in, and Event 31 makes the third such event for 2006. The previous two were Event 6, won by Mark Vos for $803,274, first of 1,918 other players; and Event 22 won by Jeff Madsen for $660,948, first of 1,579 players. Despite speculation that the field would drop for this third event, it instead jumped to 2050, creating a prize pool of $3,731,000, with $842,262 going to the winner.
