Just 23 players remain in contention for the title in Event #35: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. (8-Handed) at the 2024 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The starting field of 835 players, who created a prize pool of $1,114,725, has been whittled down, with Brian Jolly the clear chip leader as we head into the final day.
He has more than double his nearest competitor, and will be looking to close out the tournament which still features heavy-hitters like former Poker Players Championship winner Phil Hui, along with bracelet winners Daniel Strelitz, John Cernuto, and Yuri Dzivielevski.
