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."

Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 12th episode, Connor speaks with actress and conservationist Shannon Elizabeth on the 25th anniversary of American Pie, in which she played the iconic role of Nadia. Elizabeth talked about her roles in films like Scary Movie and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, playing poker with the cast of That '70s Show, finishing third in the 2007 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship and taking part in Phil Hellmuth's 2024 WSOP Main Event entrance.
Elizabeth also spoke about her conservation efforts in South Africa through the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, including caring for and providing a sanctuary for a blind black rhino named Munu.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Shannon Elizabeth by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
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 2♣8♠2♠ 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 9♥3♦ first for two pair before tabling 4♦4♠ behind.
Claassen couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Park.
