HORSE
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
H.O.R.S.E. is a form of poker commonly played at the high stakes tables of casinos. It consists of rounds of play alternating between hold 'em (H), Omaha eight or better (O), razz (R), seven card stud (S) and seven card stud eight or better (E), in that order. HORSE is a limit game, including hold 'em, although sometimes in tournament situations, like the 2006 World Series of Poker event, the final table is no-limit hold 'em.
A H.O.R.S.E. tournament was held at the World Series of Poker in 2004 when it was won by Scott Fischman. The 2006 World Series H.O.R.S.E. tournament had a record-setting $50,000 entry fee and was won by David "Chip" Reese. The $50,000 buy-in tournament will return for the 2007 WSOP, which will also feature H.O.R.S.E. events with $2,500 and $5,000 buy-ins.
