(Way) Outside the WSOP (Day 32)
Date: Mon, Jun 30, 2008
Recapping last night’s action, with an eye on what’s going on today: As noted below, Scotty Nguyen takes down the $50,000 HORSE event, taking down almost $2,000,000, his 5th bracelet, and the first to have won the WSOP Main Event and the $50k HORSE event.

And We Have a Winner, Baby!
Date: Mon, Jun 30, 2008
Scotty Nguyen is the 2008 World Series of Poker $50K H.O.R.S.E. champion! First things first… 3rd place - Erick Lindgren - $781,440 (This occurred at approximately 4:30am after a valiant fight with a pesky short stack. Fine job, Erick. Seriously.) 2nd place - Michael DeMichele - $1,243,200 (An amazing feat for a young, up-and-coming player.) And first place goes [...]
And Then There Were Three…Forever and Ever…
Date: Mon, Jun 30, 2008
Not saying it’s not exciting to watch and follow along… Okay, maybe I am saying that. We’ve hit a rut. It has been three-handed for nearly 75 hands.

And Then There Were Five…$50K HORSE Running Slow But Steady
Date: Sun, Jun 29, 2008
It has taken over three hours to see three players hit the door in the $50K HORSE. It has seemed slow at times, but the intensity at the table dictates that this could be a long night. 8th place - Patrick Bueno - $230,880 He was the short stack with less than 700K upon sitting down today, [...]
HORSES Off and Running
Date: Sun, Jun 29, 2008
The air at the ESPN stage is electric. In many people’s opinions, the $50K HORSE event is the true poker championship tournament. Media is everywhere, security is tight, and the public is clamoring to get in. As evidenced by the sheer numbers of people who attempted to make their way to the audience chairs and the [...]

Here’s how this stacked lineup will be seated at that table: Seat 1: Matt Glantz (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — 1,445,000 Seat 2: Huck [...]
