It’s Day 1 of the fourth and final H.O.R.S.E event of the 2021 World Series of Poker, as the biggest names in mixed games battle for the $10,000 championship and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet. Earlier in the series, Jesse Klein took down the $25,000 buy-in, Anthony Zinno won the $1,500 tournament, and Jim Collopy earned the $3,000 title.

The field will play through a five-game rotation that includes Limit Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, Razz, Seven Card Stud, and Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better.

Players start with 60,000 chips, and Day 1 action is scheduled for 10 one-hour levels. The field gets a 15-minute break after every two levels.

The limit flop games begin with 300/500 blinds and 500/1,000 limits. Stud games start with a 100 ante, 200 bring-in, and 500/1,000 limits.

Back in 2019, Greg Mueller defeated a field of 172 entrants for his third WSOP bracelet and the top prize of $425,347.
