Farzad Rouhani won the American-only final table of the $2,500
Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Event. Over the course of three days, he left behind 387 further participants.
Rouhani already joined the final table as chip leader and was able to constantly extend his lead, dominating the tournament almost at will.
In the heads-up he defeated Tom Chambers, who managed to close the gap somewhat after beating Rouhani's flopped set of fours with his own flopped set of fives. Nonetheless, Chambers was not able to jeopardise Rouhani's win.
