One of the most prestigious bracelets of the summer is set to be awarded today in Event #54: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. A total of 189 entries were tallied in this year's edition of the event, generating a prize pool of $1,757,700. However, just 11 players remain in contention for the bracelet and the first-place prize of $413,580.

The final 11 will return to the Paris Las Vegas at 1 p.m. today to play down to a winner.

Leading the way into the final day is Calvin Anderson (2,200,000), who took the chip lead for the first time on the final hand last night. He is just a few days removed from taking down the $10,000 Razz Championship, and he's looking to add a seventh bracelet to his poker resume.
