One week after the lowest turnout the OPT had seen in week, the Oregon Poker Tour sees it highest attendance since the Mid-Summer Poker Classic. Tonight, eighteen players saw fit to put their money on the line, as each one started the long journey to the final table, and to a $39 prize. Last week, Josh moved back up into second place on the OPT leaderboard. Would he make a push towards first place, or would Luke Shortridge fight to get second place back?
