Stacked Field Returns for Day 2 of Event #27: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E.
While a cold front might have swept through Las Vegas recently, the poker action at The Rio has remained red hot.
Today, look for that trend to continue with Day 2 of Event #27: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. where 199 players are set to return out of a starting field of 594. Today, all remaining entrants are scheduled to play ten 60-minute levels. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels, with a 60-minute dinner break after level 21 (~8:30 p.m. (PST) local time).
Amongst the 199 remaining talents, there are numerous previous bracelet winners in search of another piece of jewellery for their case. A handful of those past gold gatherers near the top in chips includes Josh Arieh (2x Winner; 171,000 chips), John Monnette (4x Winner; 162,500 chips), Barry Greenstein (3x winner; 148,500 chips), and Jason Somerville (1x winner; 110,000 chips). Look for these top poker professionals to keep everyone on their toes as they navigate their way to a spot at the final table and a chance to repeat history.
Out of the 199 returnees, 90 of them will make the money and be going home with at least a $2,400 min-cash. One lucky participant, however, will be going home with the $160,636 first-place cash prize alongside a coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
