2007 WSOP Event 44 - Omaha Hi-Low Split $2,000

  A lot of people have tried to lay claim to kingship over various things. Nobody will argue that Elvis is the King of Rock and Roll, but that title was bestowed upon him by the people, so it's legit. Michael Jackson crowned himself the King of Pop, and narrowly avoided becoming the King of C-block or wherever the California penal system puts guys who are attracted to kids in the "Pokemon" years of life. Leonardo DiCaprio played character who thought stowing away on a really big boat made him "King of the World", and Britain's Prince Charles desperately seems to want the title of "King of England" despite the fact that it looks like he will be leapfrogged by his own son. Of all the Monarch wannabes that seem to be out there, the post of "King of Omaha" seems to be conspicuously open.  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.  A person wouldn't need to use a whole lot of fingers to count the number of multiple bracelet winners in the sport of Omaha style poker. Thanks to his victory at Event 44, Frankie O'Dell can now wear a WSOP Omaha Hi-Lo bracelet on each of his wrists. This puts him in a very rare company. If he wins a few for his ankles, this will make him the undisputed King of the sport.  His victory came at the expense of Thang Luu, who only lasted one hand after Frankie had eliminated Martin Corpuz in third place. All in all it was a dominant performance by Frankie O'Dell to take home his second piece of WSOP jewelry.PlacePlayerPrize1Frankie O'Dell$240,0572Thang Luu$147,7263Martin (Dick) Corpuz$97,1884Marcel Luske$64,6305Marvin Ryan$47,1366Jess Robinson$36,9317Ming Lee$27,6998Stuart Paterson$20,4099Mitch Maples$14,578
