Day 1 of the Event #96: $25,000 High Roller H.O.R.S.E. (8-Handed) has ended after ten hour-long levels at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Ninety-five players entered, but only 58 players progressed to Day 2. The chip leader at the end of the night was Paul Volpe (650,000).
Volpe is a three-time World Series Poker bracelet winner, last winning a bracelet in 2018. Other big stacks at the end of Day 1 include bracelet winners Xixiang Luo (637,000) and Scott Bohlman (574,000).

As most high roller events often do, the field was full of stars and the world's best players. Some notables that are in the field and bagged for Day 2 include Phil Hellmuth, Bryn Kenney, Chris Brewer, Jason Mercier, and Jeremy Ausmus, just to name a few.
One of the big stacks to end the night belongs to Matt Glantz, who earned plenty of chips when he turned a full house in a four-way pot in an Omaha Hi-Lo hand. Another Omaha Hi-Lo hand had one of the biggest pots of the day. It involved Scott Seiver, Andrew Kelsall, Jesse Lonis, and Elior Sion. With betting being capped on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets, Seiver and Sion were both all in and at risk, but ended up chopping the massive pot to stay in the tournament.
Gary Bolden, who was the winner of Event #91: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. (8-Handed) earlier in the day, entered the tournament after the second break. With the goal of going “back-to-back” in the H.O.R.S.E tournaments, he got off to a great start, building a stack over 250,000 quickly. Prior to the night ending, however, Bolden was eliminated in a Razz hand, involving Chris Vitch and Nick Guagenti.
Other notables who busted include Daniel Negreanu , Jen Harman, Patrick Moulder, Joao Vieria, , Kane Kalas and David “ODB” Baker.
Players that busted are allowed one rebuy for this tournament and with late registration open through the first level of play on Day 2, it is very likely we could see some players return and some new faces in the field. Action will resume in Level 11 at the 3,000-6,000 blind levels and 6,000-12,000 betting limits. Players will complete ten hour-long levels, with a 15-minute break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 16 (~7:30 p.m.).

Razz
Scott Bohlman completed, Johannes Becker raised, and Bohlman called.
Scott Bohlman: 6x5x3x / 7x10x8x4x
Johannes Becker: XxXxXx / 4x5x6x2x
Becker kept the aggression the entire way as he bet on every street. Bohlman quickly called on fourth and fifth, but he took his time on sixth.
On seventh street, Becker bet for a final time, and Bohlman went into the tank for over three minutes. Eventually, he shrugged and tossed in the call. Becker announced that he just had a nine while Bohlman showed his seven-six which was good to drag a big pot at the end of the night.

Limit Hold’em
Phil Hellmuth raised from the hijack and was three-bet by Albert Daher in the cutoff. It was folded back around to Hellmuth, who called.
Hellmuth proceeded to quickly check-call bets from Daher on the A♥9♣8♦ flop, Q♣ turn, and 3♥ river.
Hellmuth turned over 10♣10♦, which was good for the pot.
"I put him on something like that and he still called," Daher said in disbelief.
"That's why I have seventeen bracelets," Hellmuth replied.

Omaha Hi-Lo
Ben Yu raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Jeremy Ausmus in the big blind. Yu called.
Yu raised a bet from Ausmus on the 3♦Q♥4♠ flop, and then Ausmus check-called a bet from Yu on the K♦ turn.
The J♥ completed the board, and both players checked.
"C'mon man," Ausmus said as he turned over A♥10♣7♥2♣ for the nuts. Yu sent his hand into the muck and Ausmus added to his stack.

Stud
David Bach: J♠10♥5♦/ 9♠8♦7♦6♣
Chino Rheem: XxXxXx/ 5♥8♥4♠A♦
Dario Alioto: XxXx/ 3♠K♠J♥ folded on fifth street
Chino Rheem completed the bet, then David Bach and Dario Alioto called.
Alito checked on fourth street to Rheem, who made a bet. Bach Alioto both called.
On fifth street Alioto again checked to Rheem, who bet again. But this time Bach raised the bet, which got Alioto to fold, and Rheem made the call.
Rheem then check-called bets from Bach on sixth and seventh street.
Bach tabled a jack high straight, and Rheem mucked his hand to give the pot to Bach.
