Welcome to Day 2 of Event #32: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E.

The third H.O.R.S.E event of the 2021 World Series of Poker attracted 282 runners to generate a prize pool of $752,940. The winner will take home $173,823 and the WSOP gold bracelet.

Accomplished online player Vincas Tamasauskas returns as the Day 1 chip leader after going on a late run to steal the top spot. He will be looking to take home a second WSOP gold bracelet and winning his first online this summer at GGPoker.

Many familiar names sit among the chip leaders after Day 1, including Maria Ho, Brian Hastings, David Williams, and John Fahmy. Other players in the hunt for their first bracelet include Adam Owen, Allen Kessler, and actor James Woods, who bagged a healthy stack and will return for Day 2.

Other notable bracelet-winners that will return for Day 2 include Daniel Negreanu, Anthony Zinno, David “ODB” Baker, Ari Engel, Brandon Shack-Harris, and Max Pescatori.

The day is set to begin at 2 p.m. local time on Level 11 with play for ten levels. Limit blinds will be 1,300/2,500 and stud blinds are 700/2,500 with a 500 ante. Limits will be 2,500/5,000. Fifteen-minute breaks are scheduled after every two levels with a dinner break after level 16.

Level 12
Matt Glantz
Matt Glantz

Omaha Hi-Lo

Matt Glantz was already at risk preflop and Mark Gallo then folded on the {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop when Thomas Chung bet.

Matt Glantz: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Thomas Chung: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The {9-Hearts} turn paired up Glantz while Chung now had a flush draw. Nothing changed on the {2-Spades} river and Glantz tripled up.

"Easy Game" for Filippi

Level 14
Amnon Filippi
Amnon Filippi

Seven Card Stud

Amnon Filippi: {k-Spades}{3-Diamonds} / {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} / {q-Diamonds}
Jose Paz-Gutierrez: {x-}{x-} / {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades} / {x-}

There appears to be a new chip leader as Amnon Filippi has ran up a massive stack. In the latest three-handed action he bet sixth street when he had a pair of queens showing. Jose Paz-Gutierrez was the only caller while James Milkowski folded.

Filippi also bet seventh and earned a call to flip over queens full of treys.

"Easy game. I started with king-trey-deuce and made queens full," Filippi said in table chat.

Renan Bruschi: {x-}{x-} / {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Noah Bronstein {x-}{x-} / {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Renan Bruschi was short-stacked on the bubble, and got the last of his chips in middle against Noah Bronstein on sixth street. Bruschi was behind after exposing {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} against Bronstein's {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, and he peeled a {6-Diamonds} to complete his board. Bronstein's low hand held up, sending Bruschi to the rail just short of the money.

Eli Elezra: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} / {6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts} / {a-Clubs}

A large three-way pot saw Tony Hartmann at risk and George Alexander was debating whether or not to call a final bet by Eli Elezra. Ultimately, Alexander folded and said he had a full house. Hartmann revealed a set of jacks but Elezra made eights full of aces to send Hartmann to the rail.

Allen Kessler: {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts} / {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} / {j-Clubs}

Allen Kessler was at risk on fourth street after three-betting on third with a pair of aces and a six-trey low draw showing until fifth.

"How am I going to lose this one?" Kessler mentioned in table chat.

Paramjit Gill then made kings up and somehow, Kessler bricked both the low draw and superior two pair to finish in 32nd place.
