The 2021 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas is in full swing. Among those to showcase their talents were mixed game aficionados in Event #32: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E.. Out of a field of 282 entries, only 20 contenders remain in contention for the biggest slice out of the $752,940 prize pool. They have all locked up at least $7,208 for the efforts and will be hoping to claim the coveted gold bracelet and a top prize of $172,823.
Best positioned to increase his bracelet tally after Day 2 is Eli Elezra with a stack of 1,243,000, followed by Qinghai Pan with 1,036,000 in chips. They are the only players with a seven-figure stack so far, a feat that was narrowly missed by Michael Parizon, Michael Trivett, and Maria Ho.
Seven WSOP bracelet winners have made the cut and hope to increase their tally on the final day, which kicks off at 1 p.m. local time on Monday, October 18, on the feature tables of the Amazon Room.
