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."
