Steve Sung loses $580k in PL Omaha

With the usual heavy action on Full Tilt’s 200/400 Pot limit Omaha tables, six figure downswings are pretty much the norm for players at these limits. Steve Sung is on one of the worst downswings lately. He has lost over $580,000 in PLO sessions last week. On his pokerroad blog, he wrote “Especially when I’m playing the 200/400 plo tired and/or drunk, it can get extremely scary…” Tom Dwan was up over $150k in the beginning of the week, but ended down $50K after 70 hours of play.
