The opening weekend of the 2021 World Series of Poker is here and the final day of Event #2: $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. brings a star-studded final table of decorated champions and established pros looking for their first taste of WSOP gold. The final nine players outlasted a field of 78 entries and they will compete this afternoon on the main stage in the Amazon room at Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino for the lion��s share of a $1,842,750 prize pool with a top prize of ??$552,182.
England��s mixed-game specialist Benny Glaser leads a Day 3 lineup that includes three other WSOP champions and Chad Eveslage, a Florida-based pro looking to add his first WSOP gold bracelet to an already impressive set of tournament wins in 2021.
The final nine players bring a combined 22 WSOP gold bracelets worth of experience to Day 3 and most of them belong to the 15-time champion Phil Hellmuth, but three-time winners Glaser and Ben Yu look to spoil Hellmuth��s plans for #16 and France��s David Benyamine wants to add his name to the list of players that have won two WSOP events.
England��s Philip Sternheimer is joined by Eveslage, Matt Glantz, DJ Buckley, and Jesse Klein in the quest for their first WSOP victory. Eveslage looks to add to a red-hot 2021 that includes wins at the WPT Venetian in July and the $25,000 high roller in April at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock.
