2018 WSOP: Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better won by Julien Martini for $239,771

It was a great weekend for Julien Martini at this year's WSOP as he became the very first non-American poker player to win a gold bracelet after a tough heads-up match with Kate Hoang in Event #4 $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better. He won his very first WSOP title bracelet plus a sweet $239,771 prize money.

The battle between the last two players at the final table took nearly 3 and a half hours. Finally, it was the Frenchman who won when the dealer revealed a king on the river, which went well with his K-10-4-4 on hand.

Martini described his final opponent after the event, "She is very tough and very hard to play."

As a reward for being in second place, the Vietnamese native Hoang got $148,150. In fact, she also barely missed a gold bracelet in a $3,000 PLO Hi-Lo event, finishing 2nd spot to Kyle Bowker, winning $182,281 in the process.

A 911-player field accumulated a prize pool of $1,229,850, with the action extended to an extra 4th day (the original schedule was supposed to be 3 days only). On Day 4, four players returned, the shortest-stacked William Kopp (4th) and Mack Lee (3rd) stumbling down while Hoang and Martini battled heads-up for the top spot.

Both the champion and runner-up of this event have confirmed that $10,000 of their winnings shall go toward the buy-in of Event #9: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship that started its Day 1 on June 3, Sunday.
