$50,000 World Championship H.O.R.S.E. Event Slated for 5pm PDT Start One of the World Series of Poker's marquee events gets underway at 5pm on Wednesday -- Event #45, the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship. This mixed-games event returns for its third edition, with the winner receiving not only the special Corum bracelet created just for this event, but the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy, in commemoration of the event's late, inaugural winner. Last year's second edition of the H.O.R.S.E. World Championship was won by Freddy Deeb, who topped a 148-player field of poker's elite to claim a $2,276,832 winner's check. Deeb will be on hand in defense of his title, as will most others among poker's biggest names.

Re: WSOP $50,000 HORSE Day 1 Play To Begin Soon The players have all started to gather here in the Amazon Room. The orange quadrant of the room is where this prestigious event is being held and the staff here have spread the tables out to give the players and media a bit more room than normal. At this point, the scene here resembles more of a meet and greet or poker hall of fame reunion. The best of the best and walking around, mingling, doing interviews and surveying their table draws. There is currently 115 players registered with event and climbing by the minute. Jack Effell is making his announcements and the cards should be in the air soon
