There were 12 hands of Stud 8. Once the Stud 8 round was over, we completed the first full cycle of HORSE. The Final Table started with one hand of Stud 8, before switching to Hold'em. Bruno Fitoussi scooped the first pot suring a split-pot level in a hand he desperately needed to win since he slipped into last place in chips. He won four pots overall and increased his stack to 2.3M.
John Hanson had taken over the chiplead during the Stud 8 round.
