Giddy Up! Time to Play Some H.O.R.S.E.
Welcome to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, and the 2018 World Series of Poker (WSOP) for Day 1 of the Event #76: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E.!
Not only is this event the final mixed game tournament of the WSOP, but it also one of the final chances for players to collect a WSOP bracelet as there are only two events remaining on the schedule following this one.
Last year saw Matthew Schreiber collect his first WSOP bracelet when he bested a field of 399 to capture the $256,226 first prize after outlasting a final table that included Phillip Hui (2nd), David Steicke (3rd), Tom Koral (4th), and Ryan Hughes (7th). Also featuring in-the-money included Valentin Vornicu, Mike Matusow, Dmitry Chop, Don Zewin, Brandon Cantu, Shaun Deeb, Mark Gregorich, John Cernuto, Scotty Nguyen, Josh Arieh, Jason Mericer, and recently crowned 15-time WSOP winner Phil Hellmuth.
Players will begin with 15,000 in starting chips and be playing ten 60-minute levels today. Late registration is open through eight levels and will close at approximately midnight tonight.
Play will be underway at 3 p.m. (PDT) with the PokerNews Live Reporting Team providing continuous live updates of all the Event 76 action. So stay tuned right here to PokerNews.com for everything from Event 76, as well as continued coverage of the 2018 WSOP.
