Future of the H.O.R.S.E

Some interesting conversation just took place between Daniel Negreanu, Mike Matusow and Nick Schulman regarding the future of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. They started with what shape they were in regarding their over/under on the amount of runners it'll attract this year. It was the general consensus that numbers will be way down because of the 40k NLH and the fact it's not being filmed this year.

Negreanu said they should've left the final table as NLH, as that's the way the tournament was designed at first. The mixed games are too hard to follow, therefore not as good as a TV spectacle. They all expect changes for next year and Negreanu wants it to be renamed the Chip Reese Memorial Tournament or something similar.

Good points all round, let's see what will happen.
