Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and the 2013 World Series of Poker for Day 1 of Event #29: $5,000 H.O.R.S.E.
One of only two H.O.R.S.E events on the schedule - with the first seeing Tom Schneider defeat Owais Ahmed heads-up for the bracelet and $258,960 first prize - this $5,000 buy-in version can technically be deemed the H.O.R.S.E Championship although the buy-in has been halved for this year.
In 2012 David "Bakes" Baker trumped a 178-player field to collect his second career WSOP bracelet and $451,779 first prize after defeating John Monnette heads up. Ylon Schwartz captured the smaller $1,500 buy-in that year when he defeated last night's Event 23 Champion David Chiu heads up. The above mentioned players, as well as the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey and Matt Waxman will all likely take a seat in an attempt to better last year's final table placings.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand throughout today, and until a winner is crowned, providing all the continuos live updates of every Omaha scoop, double bet and rolled down trips. Stay tuned right here as we write the path of the next WSOP gold bracelet winner!

Razz
Bill Chen: 
/ 
Justin Smith: / 
Jose Luis Velador: / 
The first round of Razz was being played over at Table 365, which is home to quite a few notable pros. In the one hand we caught, Bill Chen had the bring in with the showing and Justin "Boosted J" Smith completed to 200 with the up, which was the lowest card among all the players. Jose Luis Velador opted to come along with the up, which inspired Chen to chuckle and put in a call himself.
Smith managed to catch another low card and promptly bet. Velador wasn't phased and made the call. After Chen folded, fifth street was dealt and Smith bet his . Despite catching the , Velador decided to fold.
