Saddle Up! Event #14: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. Starts at 11 a.m.
The first H.O.R.S.E. bracelet of the summer will be up for grabs as Event #14: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. gets set to kick off at 11 a.m. local time at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino.
As always, a large field is expected for this event and one player who will be making an appearance is Andrey Zhigalov.
There were a total of 731 entries last year, which gathered a prize pool of $986,850 and the lion's share went to Zhigalov who pocketed $202,787 for his first place finish along with his first WSOP bracelet.
All players will receive 10,000 in chips to start the day and the levels will be 60-minutes in duration. Day 1 players will have to last a total of 10 levels in order to secure a Day 2 berth.
There is a 15-minute break after every two levels with a 75-minute dinner break at the end of level six. Late registration will remain open until the beginning of level 9 but this is not a re-entry event, so players will need to find success on their first bullet.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be here to bring full coverage on all the action as the day unfolds, so stay tuned.
