Event 3: Picking HORSES
$400 + $50 H.O.R.S.E.
The Kentucky Derby is still a month a way, but there are plenty of horses running at Borgata. And it's a appropriate that the tournament tables are set up right outside the Racebook.
The five HORSE games:
H: Hold'em
O: Omaha 8B
R: Razz
S: Stud (High)
E: Eight or better (8B), Seven-card stud (High/Low)
Players are settling in with 15k stacks as play begins in minutes. Levels are 40 minutes each and this is a two-day event.

Event 1: Sousa Sailing Along
$500 + $60 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)
As the field shrinks the big stacks continue to grow past 1.5 million including Justin Sousa (Seabrook, NH). He was 6th to start the day with 651k and is now a top three stack.
Sousa says his big score comes when he got good odds to call a preflop raise with K♠ 4♠ and hit a king against pocket 9s. It was a one million chip pot as Sousa keeps building his stack as 50 players remain.

Event 1: ITM = In the Money
$500 + $60 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Those 100 players are now bagging their chips for the night. They will return at noon Thursday for day two.
