Despite starting off with a $4K+ loss to Thomas Wahlroos on Full Tilt Poker table Vale, high stakes young gun Cole South had a rather successful day playing heads-up $50/$100 Pot-Limit Omaha. His next opponent would be “Ben Grundy” as they went at it on tables Pike and Vale. After 50 minutes of action, South raked in over $47K in winnings. About 90 minutes after that, South schooled Kenny Tran with a $48K victory in 70 minutes of play back on table Vale. In 390 total hands of play, South had earned himself a $91K+ total win over his opponents.
