Day 2 of the HORSE game is set, and it was a very good turnout considering this is the first HORSE game run in Alberta in recent memory and that the stud variants in the game likely haven’t been played live here for ~20 years. They got 113 total entries for prizes of more than $78k.
There are 34 players returning for Day 2 action but only half of them will make the 17 paid spots. There is more than $20k up top for the winner on Monday evening. Full prizes are listed under the Payouts tab, but the final table payouts (9-handed) are below.

KKPoker rep Chris Alcindor is the big stack for Day 2 with 266.5k. He leads two other players, Fraser Short and Zachary Nicholls, in the 200k club. Michael Griffin and Henry Oh round out the top five.
One other stack to note belongs to Paul Sokoloff. Sokoloff is a mixed-game specialist who plays high-stakes cash and tournaments against some of the best mixed-game players in the world. He bagged 114k at the end of Day 1, for the 11th place stack, but he’ll be dangerous on Day 2 no matter how many chips he has.
