The HORSE event is more than halfway to matching last year’s entrant count before the end of the first level and they have some time to reach it.

The players are spread around the back of the ballroom with more than a few tough spots. Phil Hui, Shawn Lytle, and Glen Cressman make a tough three-spot at a five-handed table. Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Matt Affleck is also an early entrant as they near the level up.

Event 6: HORSEing Around

$300 H.O.R.S.E. (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 100/200 Limits

2016 SHRPO HORSE

The first mixed game SHRPO event is underway in the ballroom and it will test skills across five variants. Event 6 is a $300 H.O.R.S.E. tournament that will attract a small but talented field.

They’ll switch up the game every eight hands from Limit Hold’em, Limit Omaha/8, Razz, Seven-card Stud, and Seven Card Stud/8. Players begin with 10,000 starting stacks and 30-minute levels with late registration open until the start of Level 8 at 3pm.

They are underway and we’ll have our next new SHRPO winner sometime this evening. Bruce McGregor is the defending champ when he picked up his second SHRP trophy last August.

  • Players begin with 10,000 in chips and 30-minute levels
  • Late registration/re-entry available until start of Level 8
  • This is a one-day tournament and plays until completion
