Who Will Be Crowned Champion of the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E.?
Some 181 players entered the 2024 World Series of Poker Event #45: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship and a prize pool of $1,683,300 was created. They went from a starting field including some of the best and brightest in the poker world with over 100 different bracelets represented, to just five of the game's greats, battling for a first place prize of $399,998.
Leading the way is five-time bracelet winner Benny Glaser, who sits with 3,675,000. Glaser is known as one of the best all-around players in the world and his success at the WSOP is a testament to that. He looks to add a sixth bracelet to the already decorated resume.
