Lukasz Dumanski Wins $1,500 Buy-in
Omaha High-Low World Championship

"First time WSOP offered a Pot-Limit Omaha High-Low Split tournament"

The winner of the $1,500 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha High-Low championship was Lukasz Dumanski. He is a 24-year-old poker player from Toronto, Ontario (Canada). This was his first WSOP victory.

Dumanski topped a field of 687 entries. He arrived at the final table third in the chip count, behind the chip leader David Bach. He won his victory after pulling away in the late stages of the tournament Bach, who ended-up finishing second.

This was Dumanski's third time to cash at the WSOP. Both of his previous in-the-money finishes occurred at the 2005 World Series. First place paid $227,454. He also collected the gold and diamond bracelet, designed and made by luxury watchmaker Corum.

This is the first time the World Series of Poker had ever offered a Pot-Limit Omaha High-Low Split tournament. The event attracted the largest turnout ever for a live tournament featuring this game.
