Arieh Leads Stacked Field Heading into Day 2 of Event #80: $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. High Roller

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Welcome to Day 2 of Event #80: $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. High Roller here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Josh Arieh bagged the chip lead last night after accumulating 621,500 through ten levels of play. The five-time bracelet winner was the only player to cross the 600k mark and is followed by Japan's own Motoyoshi Okamura, who will bring 565,000 with him to battle with on the felt today.

Plenty of poker talent remains, however, as is typical in any high-roller event. Some crushers Arieh will need to contend with in his pursuit of a sixth bracelet include Nacho Barbero (504,000), Paul Volpe (326,000), Viktor Blom (319,500), Mike Matusow (309,000), David "ODB" Baker (302,500), Jason Mercier (262,000), and Brian Hastings (254,500) to name a few.

Day 2 Top Ten Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count
1	Josh Arieh	United States	621,500
2	Motoyoshi Okamura	Japan	565,000
3	Yehuda Buchalter	United States	511,000
4	Nacho Barbero	Argentina	504,000
5	Hal Rotholz	United States	478,000
6	Matt Glantz	United States	463,000
7	Andres Korn	United States	461,000
8	Max Hoffman	United States	451,000
9	Michael Noori	United States	445,000
10	Michael Moncek	United States	415,000

Michael Rodrigues (193,000) and Shaun Deeb (54,000) are also still in contention and currently sit in fourth and third place respectively in the WSOP Player of The Year race. A deep run from either player would keep the race tight against current leader Ian Matakis and a win would be enough to overtake first place.

Of the 100 entrants from yesterday, 56 are returning for Day 2 and more are expected to join as late registration will remain open until the start of play today at 1 p.m. local time. Play will begin on Level 11, which features 3,000/6,000 blinds for limit flop games and a 1,500 ante with a 2,000 bring-in and 6,000/12,000 limits for stud games. Play will continue for an additional ten 60-minute levels, and players will get a 15-minute break after every two levels. A 60-minute dinner break will be held after Level 16 (~7:30 p.m.)

Stay tuned to PokerNews as we continue to bring you coverage from this prestigious high-roller event leading to the money bubble and eventual next H.O.R.S.E. champion!
