Of the 178 entrants in Event 32: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E., only 136 survived to make Day 2, which begins at 2 p.m. local time. Fabrice Soulier leads with 146,300 chips, and there are several players flirting with a 100K stack, including Abe Mosseri (99,900), Allen Bari (96,300), Brandon Stack-Harris (93,900), and Michael Binger (92,600). Soulier won this event last year, defeating Shawn Buchanan heads up for his first bracelet and over $600,000.

2012 WSOP bracelet winners John Monnette, Phil Hellmuth, Corey Zeidman, Ylon Schwartz, and Andy Bloch are still alive, and are all looking to become the first multiple-bracelet winner of the year. While Phil Ivey, whose made three final tables in the last ten days, is looking to capture his first of the year, and his ninth of his career.

The cards will be in the air in about a half hour, and the plan is to play ten levels - unless we reach final table beforehand. That's unlikely, however.

Get ready for some H.O.R.S.E. action, and keep it locked to PokerNews.com for your exclusive up-to-the-minute updates from this and every event at the 2012 WSOP!

Happy Father's Day

Level 9
Jeanine Deeb with her Father's Day present.
Jeanine Deeb with her Father's Day present.

Freddy Deeb has taken his seat at Table 447 and his daughter Jeanine Deeb brought him a present. She put together a photo album for him that had pictures from their entire life.

It put a giant smile on his face and should put him in a good mood for the tournament.

Jeanine is well known among the poker community. She worked for as intern for the WSOP for a while before joining the World Poker Tour.

Pirate's Booty

Level 9

Omaha 8

Barry "The Pirate" Levy was heads up with Chris Bell, and the board read {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. Bell and Levy checked, and the turn was the {10-Hearts}. Bell check-called a bet, and the {6-Hearts} completed the board. Both players checked again.

"Just a ten," Levy announced, tabling {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Bell re-sweat his cards one more time, then mucked his hand.

A Couple of Oh-Eight Hands

[user162117]
[user162117]
Level 9

Omaha 8

Here is how a couple of Omaha 8 hands played out during this first level.

  • Over on Table 450, Mori Eskandani opened up the action and only Todd Brunson in the big blind made the call. The {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop would see Brunson check and Eskandani fire out a bet. Brunson instantly folded his cards face-up, flashing {2-}{2-}{4-}, with his low cards not looking good on that flop.
  • Table 449 would see Betrand Grospellier open it up from the button and Stephen Su immediately three-bet on his left. Grospellier made the call and as the dealer spread out a {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board, Grospellier called a bet on the flop, raised a bet on the turn - which was called, and then both players checked the river. Grospellier's {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades} was good for the nut-low, while Su's {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} was strong enough for the high.

Cunningham Razzing It

Razz

Benson: {x-}{x-} / {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} / {x-}
Cunningham: {x-}{x-} / {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts} / {x-}

When we arrived at Table 453, Allen Cunningham and Gray Benson were already on fourth street and Cunningham was busy firing out a bet and Benson was calling. Cunningham then bet again on fifth street and Benson called. Sixth street would see Benson check and Cunningham bet. A call from Benson and Cunningham would turn over his {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}, holding a seven-five low to see Benson's cards hit the muck.

We missed the action, but when we arrived at the table, Matt Waxman was pulling in a large Omaha 8 pot. At the same time, Scotty Nguyen was getting up from his chair, and shook Robert Mizrachi's hand before exiting.

Waxman doubled to nearly 15,000 chips, while Nguyen is out.
