Axelrod final tabled the H.O.R.S.E. event during Showdown with a third-place finish a week after finishing second in the Omaha8/Stud8 tournament.

Phil Hui could have been excused for max late registering the tournament after a long run yesterday. The WSOP bracelet winner (and four-time WSOP Circuit winner) opted to play the Omaha/8 event yesterday and opened his series with a nice cash after chopping heads-up with Peter Walsworth.

Hui continued his great summer run that included seven WSOP cashes, the last coming in their $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament.
