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.).

Make sure you stay up to date on all the action by following PokerNews for live coverage and updates.
