One of the World Series of Poker's marquee events gets underway at 5pm on Wednesday -- Event #45, the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship. This mixed-games event returns for its third edition, with the winner receiving not only the special Corum bracelet created just for this event, but the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy, in commemoration of the event's late, inaugural winner.
Last year's second edition of the H.O.R.S.E. World Championship was won by Freddy Deeb, who topped a 148-player field of poker's elite to claim a $2,276,832 winner's check. Deeb will be on hand in defense of his title, as will most others among poker's biggest names.
