Well played to all that entered the Omahartigan League great fun
A tie for Overall who would of thought.
A big thanks to James for putting the league on and also a big thanks to a Vince for his spreadsheety things
Good Luck to Leon and Blankcheck next week in your Heads up battle next week.
Apologies if the following sounds like an over-emotional Oscars speech, but I believe in giving praise where it’s due…
First of all, congratulations to blankcheck and LEON1 who advance to next week’s play-offs. I’ll finalise the details tomorrow and will contact you both privately.
A hearty well done to OnlyOneCT and starnow for sharing third place. Great performances, chaps.
Thanks to Machka for unintentionally inspiring the idea for this league by bullying me into playing an Omaha MTT eight weeks ago!
Huge thanks to MereNovice for his statistical analysis and supreme speed at compiling and e-mailing the weekly league tables – and to hawk7112 for his hugely entertaining forum updates.
Big props to Tikay for all his help in getting the OHL off the ground and his continued support for the promotion, especially in Week 3 when he deputised for me.
A respectful salute to Richard and Jack in Marketing for backing the league and offering those fantastic prizes – and to Adam and Jordan up in Leeds for altering the weekly Omaha tournament schedule.
Finally, mega thanks to EVERYONE who played in the OHL events. The size of the fields in both the PLO and PLO8 tournaments exceeded my expectations every single week. Let’s do it all again soon
Wow!. All i can say regarding my efforts is i got out of jail with results going my way in spectacular fashion and i am VERY VERY lucky to share 3rd place with starnow.
How to sum up the last 6 Monday evenings with the Omahartigan League - Its been like poker's answer to swings and roundabouts with the lead chopping and changing at key intervals and its been a case of who knows what will happen next. I think everyone will agree that it has been a HIGHLY enjoyable tournament series to be a part of, i personally have learnt a lot more about the mastering of both PLO/PLO8 and ill admit i surprised myself that my 2 leg victories both came in PLO8 as before Omaha was introduced onto Sky Poker, i played a fair bit of PLO elsewhere online but i only ever played PLO8 three times previously and thought i would really struggle but i find PLO8 such a fantastic skillful poker game to play and i will certainly be playing a lot more from now on.
Ill admit i am gutted not to have won the League myself but many congratulations to blankcheck and LEON1 and i shall certainly be railing the best of 3 playoff next week and also many congratulations to starnow for sharing 3rd place with little old me and best of luck with the £10k BH on the 4th November!...
Also id like to tip my hat to Mr Hartigan for championing Omaha with the creation of this League so brilliantly in my honest opinion and i would hope somewhere in the near future that something like this returns bigger and better perhaps!... :-)
Anyway next couple of days is all about trying to get some match practice in for SPT Blackpool and hopefully another SPT Final table lol!........
Thanks all for a really terrific tourney was great fun, lots of banter - totally enjoyable!!!
p.s. yes it is true - hit a Royal and it throws you for a while - my brain went for a walk on a few hands after and losing Dylan to bully didn't help either.....:-P
Well done to all, apologies for missing week 6 but I got a rare opportunity to play some live poker on a Monday night in prep for SPT and i final tabled that so a welcome return to form!!
So, that’s (almost) it, folks!

Totally agree with all this, well done to everyone involved, a thoroughly enjoyable 6 weeks....
However the Hi-Lo tournament finishes, nothing will change at the very top of the table. For the record, here are the top 4: Name T11 T12 T21 T22 T31 T32 T41 T42 T51 T52 T61 T62 Total blankcheck 2 20 20 2 2 12 2 2 2 64 LEON1 2 2 16 2 10 2 2 4 16 4 2 2 64 starnow 16 2 2 8 2 2 20 2 6 60 OnlyOneCT 2 20 2 2 2 2 2 20 2 2 2 2 60 Congratulations to OnlyOneCT and starnow who share third place. Both players will receive free entry into the 8pm Bounty Hunter tournament NEXT Thursday (4th November). Meanwhile, LEON1 and blankcheck advance to next week's "play-offs." So, how's that going to work...? Posted by J-Hartigan
I've just been onto the list of registered players for tonight's 8pm BH and neither myself or starnow are included on that list and was wondering whether both of us will be included before the start of tonight's 8pm main event?
Firstly, what a wonderful few weeks I had playing alongside you guys - and really enjoyed the OMAHA experience. Nearly made it to my 1st Sky Poker Tour Tourney - but hey ho - hopefully there will be more to come.
Shame I missed all the write ups on the night but my link obviously didn't update correctly, but glad everyone seemed as excited as I was at the end with seven of us left in.
I have just checked the tourney for tongiht and don't appear to be registered yet - do I need to do anything? Please advise as I would hate to miss an opportunity to play
Once again thanks for organising the league - a great concept

Craig, James is now flying across the Atlantic so hopefully someone at Sky Towers notices this and sorts you out. So to speak.

wonderful evening xxxx
In Response to Re: THE OMAHARTIGAN LEAGUE - WEEK 6: lol Greg.
A great month of PLO(8) MTTs and should definitely be repeated sooner rather than later.
Fantastic fun - thanks for organising it James and well done to the two joint leaders, and good luck for next week's play-off.
Hopefully we can have another league like this soon to maintain Omaha interest, which will no doubt dwindle again now
Many thanks!......
