Level 18:  10,000/20,000 Limits
Players Remaining:  8 of 67

As expected, the $1,100 H.O.R.S.E. tournament drew some of the best mixed game specialists in the game, and they have created a great final table.

Three-time WSOP bracelet/five-time WSOPC ring winner Phil Hui is leading for his sixth Hollywood title with Yuval Bronshtein alive for his ninth and Long Nguyen’s fifth. And we have two-time WSOP winner David “ODB” Baker lurking, trying to run over them all.

We have a chance for some history when the tournament is done and we will hit the highlights along the way.
