Day 1 of Event 32: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. has come to an end, and our chip leader is Fabrice Soulier, who won this event last year. Soulier amassed a large stack before the thirty-minute “dinner break,” and never looked back. He heads to Day 2 as the leader of the pack with 146,300 chips, and is looking to make his sixth final table in his WSOP career.
Other players who were able to amass a large stack on Day 1 include Allen Bari (96,300), Brandon Shack-Harris (93,900), Michael Binger (92,600), David Bach (91,700), and Steve Zolotow (86,000).
A total of 178 players signed up for Event 32, generating a total prize pool of $1,673,200. Twenty-four players are guaranteed at least $16,246, everyone who makes the final table will earn a minimum of $45,360, and the winner will bank $451,779, along with the prestigious gold bracelet.
There were plenty of notables who were unable to make it out of Day 1 unfortunately, and the list includes Xuan Liu, Shannon Shorr, David Benyamine, Vladimir Shchmelev, Barry Greenstein, Brendan Taylor, Annie Duke, Jonathan Duhamel, and Luke Schwartz.
Among the leaders is - you guessed it - Phil Ivey. Ivey, who’s already made three final tables this week, scooped a big pot in a Stud 8 hand towards the end of the night. We picked up the action on sixth street, where Ivey’s board read 
, and he fired a bet into Dan Shak and Josh Arieh. Both players called. Ivey fired another bet on seventh, only Arieh called, and Ivey tabled 
for a full house. His opponents mucked, and Ivey scooped the pot.
Day 2 will begin tomorrow at 2 p.m. local time, and we’ll play ten levels unless we reach a final table – which is unlikely. Stay locked into PokerNews for this and every event at the 2012 World Series of Poker.
For now, good night from Las Vegas!
Some old, some new.
