From a starting field of 42 players, Event #2: A$2,500 H.O.R.S.E. has reached a final table. As expected, plenty of big names have made it this far including New Zealand's Jan Suchanek, who will start as chip leader with eight remaining, ahead of former Aussie Millions Main Event champion Ari Engel.

Suchanek has a highly impressive record here at the Aussie Millions, with a championship ring and three second-place finishes in 8 Game events between 2012 and 2014. He also has a third and a second place finish in the H.O.R.S.E. in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

France's Julien Sitbon and Poland's Dzmitry Urbanovich are the only other non-Australians at the final table. Australia is naturally well-represented, with 2017 runner-up Rainer Quel joined by Alan Wilson, Simon Chahine and Vasco Zapantzis.
