Hello and welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino for the 45th-annual World Series of Poker!
The $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship - the fifth championship - is set to kick off in 20 minutes or so, and we are anticipating another star-studded field. There was no $10,000 variant in 2013, the largest buy-in H.O.R.S.E. event was of the $5,000 variety, and Tom Schneider bested a 261-player field to earn $318,955.
Prior to that, David "Bakes" Baker (2012), Fabrice Soulier (2011), and Ian Gordon (2010) won this event. Before the WSOP changed the $50,000 Poker Players' Championship to eight-game, H.O.R.S.E. was the game of choice.
For those new to mixed games, H.O.R.S.E. is made up of the following:
- Limit hold'em
- Limit omaha hi-low eight-or-better
- Razz
- Stud hi
- Stud hi-low eight-or-better
The cards will be in the air shortly. Be sure to check back for updates straight from the tournament room right here on PokerNews!
