Glaser Leads; Hellmuth Chases Number 16 in a Star-Studded Final Nine of Event #2: $25,000 H.O.R.S.E.

The opening weekend of the 2021 World Series of Poker is here and the final day of Event #2: $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. brings a star-studded final table of decorated champions and established pros looking for their first taste of WSOP gold. The final nine players outlasted a field of 78 entries and they will compete this afternoon on the main stage in the Amazon room at Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino for the lion's share of a $1,842,750 prize pool with a top prize of $552,182.
England's mixed-game specialist Benny Glaser leads a Day 3 lineup that includes three other WSOP champions and Chad Eveslage, a Florida-based pro looking to add his first WSOP gold bracelet to an already impressive set of tournament wins in 2021.
The final nine players bring a combined 22 WSOP gold bracelets worth of experience to Day 3 and most of them belong to the 15-time champion Phil Hellmuth, but three-time winners Glaser and Ben Yu look to spoil Hellmuth's plans for #16 and France's David Benyamine wants to add his name to the list of players that have won two WSOP events.
England's Philip Sternheimer is joined by Eveslage, Matt Glantz, DJ Buckley, and Jesse Klein in the quest for their first WSOP victory. Eveslage looks to add to a red-hot 2021 that includes wins at the WPT Venetian in July and the $25,000 high roller in April at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock.
