Event #21 had a mega buy-in of $5,200, one of the biggest ever for an internet tournament. The HORSE festival had 177 entrants and generated a prize pool of $885,000. Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, Chris Moneymaker, Jon “PearlJammer” Turner, Jimmy “gobboboy” Fricke, Hevad Khan, Lee Nelson, Daniel Negreanu, Greg Raymer, Katja Thater and Humberto Brenes, among others, sat down to play in this event.

Four hours elapsed before the first player busted out of the event. (Since HORSE is usually played at limit stakes, this isn’t that surprising.) crazyjanie, who finished third in the $530 Stud Hi/Lo tournament earlier in the WCOOP, was the last player eliminated before the final table by BOBALOB, who was rumored to be one of the final table players at the 2007 WSOP HORSE championship. (You know the one with the $50,000 buy-in.) However, no one could confirm exactly who he was.

BOBALOB also claimed first blood at the final table, knocking TwinkleStar out in eight position. He then terminated BUS02’s tournament life in seventh place. However, BOBALOB couldn’t make it past fourth place. He was KOd by tj_trail during an Omaha H/L hand.

svesken and hairos, both of whom hail from Denmark, agreed to a deal during heads-up play. The winner would get an extra $26,000 and the bracelet. Svesken then watched as his chip stack dwindled down to less than 200k. He couldn’t come back from the 5-to-1 deficit and watched as hairos took the title.

These are the final table facts, folks:

1. hairos - $202,921
2. svesken - $176,921
3. tj_trail - $103,987.50
4. BOBALOB - $71,685
5. Cordelia - $55,755
6. ROXY24 - $41,595
7. BUS02 - $31,860
8. TwinkleStar - $22,567.50
