Here we are with another WSOP Update. Scotty Nguyen took down one of the most coveted bracelets - the World Championship H.O.R.S.E. event - by beating out 147 of the world’s best poker players (each one ponying up $50k). Congratulations Scotty! I’m sure the first prize of $1.9 Million will help pay a few bills.

 

As of today, the Main Event is on day 1D (the event has so many players that the first day of play had to be broken down into 4 seperate days). Let’s get you caught up on events 42 through 53.
