The third edition of The Night of Omaha saw as many as 41 four-card lovers lined up at the tables of the Admiral Poker Room. Many familiar faces and just as many new faces enlivened the tournament area on Sunday, January 14. These included Rino Raise and Ivan Losi, winners of the first two editions of La Notte dell’Omaha, Pasquale Vinci and Ottaviano Capellini. At the end of late registration Michele Luca Rocci led the 20 left with 142,000 chips, but unfortunately he left the tournament without going ITM.
