Are You Ready to Get HOSEd?
Event 5: $340 H.O.S.E. will be off and running shortly in the Borgata Event Center. Last year, they played H.O.R.S.E., but this year have dropped Razz from the lineup. These four games will be played in eight hand rotation:
Hold’em
Omaha High/Low
Stud
Eight or Better (Stud High/Low)
Players get 20,000 chips to start and this is all Limit poker, so it takes a bit longer to get all the chips in the middle. Levels are 30 minutes in duration. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of level 11 (at least 8:45pm). This is a one-day tournament, so they'll play until another Borgata Winter Poker Open trophy has a new home.
Last year, Daniel Hofer of Ossing, New York, won the HORSE-ament in a three-way adjusted payout agreement. He took first place, $13,000, and the BWPO trophy. There were 89 entrants in that two-day event.
