David Arsht outlasted a field of 113 to take down the $500 H.O.R.S.E. tournament here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open and win a $14,796 prize. Arsht, who has a World Series of Poker bracelet on his resume from a limit hold'em event in 2012, sat down and answered a few questions for PokerNews.

So, how did the final table go for you?

"I got lucky in hold'em and made a few big hands. People started putting each other, and I just sat back and watched. All of a sudden, I had all of the chips."

Talk a little about your poker history.

"I'm a recreational player. I won a bracelet in 2012 in $1,500 Limit Hold'em."

How would you rank your ability to play the games?

"Hold'em's my best game. I also play OE (Omaha Eight-or-Better and Stud Eight-or-Better mix) twice a week. I played stud as a kid. There's really no Razz any more."

Is Razz your worst game then?

"Yes. I play Razz conservatively. It's also the game I enjoy the least."

Plans for the rest of the tournament?

"I'll play the Omaha Eight-or-Better."
