Players Saddle Up for the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. Event at 2024 WSOP
Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees the start of Event #91: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. (8-Handed) here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time, with late registration open for eight levels (~8:45 p.m.). Reentries are prohibited in this event. There will be 15-minute breaks every two hours of play. Levels 1-6 will be 40 minutes in length before increasing to 60 minutes from Level 7 onwards.
The starting stack is 40,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play 12 levels. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 12, when another ten levels will play out. A winner will then be determined on Day 3, Saturday.
Last year’s event attracted a field of 331 entries, generating a prize pool of $886,440. The winner was Ryan Miller, who defeated Leonard August heads-up to win $208,460 and his second WSOP bracelet.
The triumph marked Miller's second bracelet win in a five-day span and he told PokerNews last summer:
"I was just hoping to cash in a couple of events, and I just happened to win two of them." When asked if his recent success would change his plans for this summer, Miller responded: "I will probably just play the same five or six events; the Player of Year race doesn't really interest me."
