Back in 2015, the $10,000 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. Championship was won by Andrew Barber for his first career WSOP bracelet.
Barber bested a field of 204 entrants to collect the $517,766 first prize after defeating Viacheslav Zhukov heads-up on a final table that featured Don Zewin, Jared Bleznick, Joe Hachem, Frank Kassela, and Scotty Nguyen.
Of those final table combatants, all but Kassela, Nguyen, and Arash Ghaneian are in the field currently, while six other in-the-money finishers are also battling it out here in level four.
Since his win, Barber has gone on to collect four additional WSOP cashes split evenly across 2016 and 2017, with his most notable result being a 241st-place finish in last year's WSOP Main Event.
