Huge HORSE Poker Tournament Overlay At Stars

Tonight’s big $200 +$15 H.O.R.S.E poker tournament at Pokerstars started with only 192 players which means there is an overlay of $11,600 (buy-in fee is not factored in).  This means that only $38,400 got put into the prize pool and Pokerstars is going to pay out $50,000! I know the buy-in to this HORSE poker tournament may seem pretty steep to many people but just think about the EV you are getting. Its equivalent to Pokerstars throwing in an extra $60 for each and every player that signed up for this tournament.

Currently there are only 24 players remaining so everyone still at the table is guaranteed at least $430. The top prize is $12,750.  The player “weaktight” from Las Vegas is currently #1 with over $50,000 chips. He/she has been dominating this tournament ever since I started watching. Mark Roland A.K.A “The Omaholic” is doing pretty good at #5.

Fulltilt’s Sunday H.O.R.S.E Poker Tournament

There is no overlay for this tournament and the prize pool is only $31,600 (which is still huge). There are however some pretty big names competing in this HORSE poker tourney. Nine Fulltilt Pro’s played in this tournament and if I am not mistaken each player that knocked out a pro will receive their buy-in back regardless of how they did in the tournament.

With only 158 total players in this tournament that gives everyone a good chance of at least being in a position to knock out one of these pro’s.  The professional players are doing pretty good tonight with 4 still in out of the 53 players remaining in the tournament.  The top prize for this tourney is just under $10,000. Here are the top five players as of right now:

• dfunks222
• dgang
• Aaron Bartely – PRO
• Shah77
• Michael Craig – PRO
