Day One Wraps Up, Habib Leads The Race

The opening day of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship has been completed with 95 of the world's finest mixed game players coming together to compete for the title that everyone wants, the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy.

We knew it was going to be slow going in the early stages with only four players sent to the rail from today's action. Steve Zolotow, Alexander Kostritsyn, David Singer and Dan Shak will be taking a closer look at tomorrow's schedule of events as the remaining 91 players will have their diaries booked for 4 p.m. tomorrow for Day 2 of the H.O.R.S.E event. The field will most likely be led by Hassan Habib who sat behind 387,000 chips late in the day. Justin Smith, Martin Vallo, Farzad Bonyadi and Chris Ferguson round out a likely top five. Join us again tomorrow from 4 p.m. as the action starts to get a little more serious as the stakes are raised and the fight for survival becomes more intense. We look forward to your company then!

Über World Series of Poker (WSOP):

Die World Series of Poker, oder kurz WSOP, ist eine Reihe von Pokerturnieren, die jedes Jahr in Las Vegas ausgetragen werden.

Die World Series of Poker finden jährlich im Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas statt.

Die World Series of Poker ist die grösste und prestigeträchtigste Pokerveranstaltung der Welt. Mit einer umfassenden Liste von Turnieren in allen wichtigen Pokervarianten ist die WSOP das am längsten laufende Pokerturnier der Welt und geht auf das Jahr 1970 zurück.

Darüber hinaus hat die WSOP bahnbrechende Allianzen in den Bereichen Rundfunk, digitale Medien und Unternehmenssponsoring gebildet und die Marke mit der Einführung der WSOP Europe im Jahr 2007 und der WSOP Asia-Pacific im Jahr 2013 sowie der WSOP International Circuit Series im Jahr 2015 erfolgreich international ausgebaut.

Ursprünglich wurden die Tourniere in Las Vegas Downtown im Binion's Horseshoe Casino ausgetragen. Im Jahre 2005 kaufte Caesars den Brand WSOP. Seit diesem Datum werden die Pokermeisterschaften im Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino durchgeführt.
