A Tournament of a Different Color
This year a lot of poker players are excited about the new addition to the World Series of Poker -- or leased new emphasis on the new addition, that being the $50,000 buy in HORSE tournament. I think it's really awesome that the folks at Harrah's are willing to put so much time, effort, and money behind the classic blacktop school yard game. I can't wait to see if Phil Hellmuth can copy Chris Ferguson's “stand on 1 foot, keep one eye closed, behind the back, off the backboard while singing The Gambler” shot.
Full Tilt Poker has a few words to say to you about how you can win a seat into the real HORSE event this WSOP…
WSOP $50K HORSE TOURNAMENT A new HORSE tournament has been added to the stable of games played at this year's World Series of Poker and, with its $50,000 buy-in, it's bound to have a Kentucky Derby-sized prize pool. This exciting, mixed-game event is the first of its kind, and will take place on Wednesday, July 12th. Full Tilt Poker wants you in the starting gate for this incredible tournament, which is why we're offering a WSOP $50K HORSE qualifier at 4:30PM ET on Saturday, July 1st. Qualify for the WSOP HORSE championship in this fast-paced tournament and you will receive a $50K seat at the WSOP, plus an extra $2,000 in spending money. Satellites for this special $500 + $35 event will start Monday, March 13th, and you can pony up for as little as $4 + $.40. HORSE is an exciting ride where players compete in five games: Hold 'em, Omaha 8/Better, Razz, Seven Card Stud High, and Eight/Better (Seven Card Stud High-Low). With HORSE, players are challenged at every turn, and that's why they love it. They know it takes a well-rounded player to win in the home stretch. Also, Full Tilt Poker is the only online poker site to offer a weekly Sunday Night HORSE $20K Guarantee, which is why we think that, when the starting bell rings for the WSOP $50K HORSE tournament, our players will own the post position.
