Chino Rheem heads the HORSE: A $25K limit mixed game tournament isn't for everyone, but for those looking to squeeze every drop from the last week of the WSOP, the HORSE High Roller is one last chance to play a big ticket event.
Monday's Day 1 chopped the 109-strong field down to just 64, led by Chino Rheem. A glance down the chipcounts reveals a plethora of stars looking for another shot at glory, from Alex Foxen to Shaun Deeb, Naoya Kihara, Daniel Negreanu and Benny Glaser.

The final nine. Malcolm Trayner's elimination has put an end to Day 8 with the final nine players all set to go for the final table in August. They'll be back on ESPN from August 2-4.
In the meantime, check out our full story from Day 8:
Malcolm Trayner eliminated in 10th place ($750,000): The flop was 
and Malcolm Trayner moved all in for his last three million.
- Malcolm Trayner:
- Lucas Jumalon:
Trayner was ahead but the 
turn and 
river counterfeited his two pair and sent him out in 10th.
Hayley Hochstetler
Tolga Karakaya eliminated in 11th place ($750,000): Tolga Karakaya got the last of his dwindling stack in, but he had to beat jacks.
- Jamie Shaevel:
- Tolga Karakaya:
The board ran out 
and the jacks held, sending Karakaya off in 11th place to set up the unofficial final table of ten.
Hayley Hochstetler
Antonio Galiana eliminated in 12th place ($510,000): Antonio Galiana bet half his stack before Michael Gagliano put him all in with the lead.
- Antonio Galiana:
- Michael Gagliano:
The board fanned out 
and Big Slick held on to send Galiana off in 12th.

Yanting Jiang wins $3K Mid-Stakes Championship ($1,159,182): She came in today as chip leader and left with the bracelet, defeating the likes of Roberto Romanello, Punnat Punsri and Maurice Hawkins along the way.
Lennart Hennig
$3K Mid-Stakes Championship – Maurice Hawkins eliminated in third ($432,875): The answer to the previous post is, 'No'. Hawkins leaves Chahnhoon Jung, Yanting Jiang and Yoon Choi to play for the bracelet.
Is Maurice Hawkins about to win his first bracelet in the $3K Mid-Stakes Championship? He was down to one big blind earlier today but survived, and has now built his stack up to 20 big blinds to sit bang in the middle of the five remaining players. Punnat Punsri was eliminated in 6th for $250,110. Roberto Romanello exited in 8th for $149,093.
Omar Sader
Hossein Ensan eliminated in 13th ($510,000): Winning the Main Event twice in the modern era is said to be unthinkable. Ensan has fallen agonizingly short. He jammed over an open with 
and ran into the kings of Michael Gagliano in the big blind in a 55.8 million pot.
Daniel Savas eliminated in 14th place ($410,475): Savas ripped through most of his 39 million stack by four-betting tens and getting called by Lauri Saaskilahti, who had jacks. And Saaskilahti got his remaining 3.9 million the next hand when A-9 beat 9-6. Saaskilahti is up to 79,300,000.
Shaun Deeb eliminated in 15th ($410,475): A win here would almost certainly have guaranteed him back-to-back Player of the Year titles. As it is, Deeb will have to go in search of points elsewhere.
And he wasted no time, doing his bustout interview, jumping into the $500 Summer Saver, busting that, and registering for the $25K HORSE.
Deeb's Main Event exit came when he shoved his last 13.6 million with 
on a 
flop. Rami Hammoud called with and Deeb couldn't find any help on the runout.
Johnny Oshana wins $300 Gladiators of Poker ($250,000): Can you think of another way to turn $300 into a quarter of a million in a few days without getting lucky on a memecoin? Oshana beat Kenneth Baime heads-up to claim the cash and his first WSOP bracelet.
Go right for his f-in heart: The young Lucas Jumalon has a big rail here at the WSOP Main Event feature table, but his support extends beyond that.
Today Jumalon received a good luck message from none other than Amit Algawar, the same guy who abandoned his Main Event stack several times on Day 1 to go watch the film 'Obsession.'
Algawar's advice to Jumalon? Go after the Aussie and go right for his f-in heart.
MONDAY, JULY 13
Brock Wilson eliminated in 16th ($410,475): Wilson went for it with 
, and Daniel Savas called with 
.
The board?

Unfortunately, Luke Jumalon had . The runout had outs, but Givens couldn't find any of them.
Todd Brunson eliminated in 20th ($325,0000). Brunson had 
against the of Malcolm Trayner.
The chips went in on the 
turn after Trayner called a big shove, but a on the river ended Brunson's magical run.
Hayley Hochstetler
Givens on the ropes. Luke Jumalon just got it in with 
against Will Givens and his 
.
A in the window was followed by another on the flop, and Givens was left with just two million.
Luke Jumalon - 56 million
Dylan Smith eliminated in 21st ($325,000). It was a 7.4 shot with against Luke Jumalon's 
, but a flushy runout of 
sent Smith to the rail.
Brunson is so back. Todd was all in against Brock Wilson and Malcolm Trayner with a chance to triple up.
- Brunson:
- Wilson:
- Trayner:
It ran out and the river ace did it. Wilson ended up right back where he started.
Trayner - 47 million
Brunson - 24 million
Wilson - 15 million

Will Givens is walking early: He's got a stack of 32,800,000 and he's not waiting for the official end of the night. Why? "I have my reasons," is all he was willing to say.
