Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.

Today sees the start of Event #80: $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. here at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas.

This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time, with late registration open for 11 levels. This event allows for one reentry. There will be 15-minute breaks every two levels.

The starting stack is 150,000 chips, with the plan for Day 1 to play ten 60-minute levels. For the surviving players, Day 2 resumes at 1 p.m. on July 15, where another ten levels will play out. The following day is when a champion will be crowned.

Last year’s event garnered a field of 112 entries generating a prize pool of $2,632,000. The winner was Josh Arieh who defeated Dan Heimiller heads-up to win $711,313 and his sixth WSOP bracelet.

Arieh, who won four of his six bracelets from 2021-2023, expressed his gratitude for life outside of poker and attributed that to his recent success.

"My life is so amazing outside of poker. I got my sh** straight, and my relationships with my daughters and with Rachel... everything is just great. It's definitely helped my career."

Park up Early

Level 1

Omaha Hi-Lo

Action folded around to the blinds, where Hye Park called from the small blind and Christopher Claasssen checked his option from the big blind.

Claassen called a bet from Park on the 282 flop and then both players checked on the 3 turn.

The 9 completed the board and Park went back to betting. Claassen looked him up and Park turned over the 93 first for two pair before tabling 44 behind.

Claassen couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Park.
