Welcome To The Final Mixed Game Tournament Of The 2023 WSOP

After many weeks of non-stop poker, Event #91: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. sees the final mixed-game tournament of the summer kick off. The popular five-game format consists of Limit Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Lo Eight or Better, Razz, Seven Card Stud, and Seven Card Hi-Lo. This event looks to draw the best mixed-game players in the world to play in this final event of this type this year.

Last year saw this event seat 327 runners and Lawrence Brandt collected his second WSOP bracelet of the summer. Brandt has appeared in many mixed game tournaments throughout the year and will likely be coming back to defend his crown in this event.

2022 $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. Final Table Payouts

PLACE	PLAYER	COUNTRY	PRIZE
1	Lawrence Brandt	United States	$205,139

Players will begin the tournament with 40,000 in chips with levels beginning at 200/400 blinds and a 100 ante, 100 bring in. Levels will increase once every 60 minutes, with a 15-minute break occurring after every two levels. Registration will be open until the beginning of Level 9, (about 11 p.m.) then they will play for two more levels before bagging up for the night.

No reentries are allowed so this is a freezeout — once a horse hits the barn, there is no returning to the track.
