H.O.R.S.E. Kicks Off at WSOP

By launchpoker, Jun 26, 2007

The World Series of Poker's World Championship H.O.R.S.E. event was late getting started at the Rio in Las Vegas, but it wasn't because of the size of the field. Only 148 players set out to claim the H.O.R.S.E. title, but they each has to put up $50,000 in order to do so. The majority of the players are well known poker pros, such as Doyle Brunson, Greg Raymer and defending champion Chip Reese, who was slated to give the call to "shuffle up and deal" to get the event underway. The 15 minute delay in the start time did not seem to dampen anyone's spirits.
