Eugene “Myrabbifoo” Katchalov wins the Full Tilt Sunday Night Horse

Full Tilt’s biggest weekly Horse tournament w/ $216 buy in featured a prizepool of $39,000. Over 190 players entered the field, including 7 full tilt pros. Stuart Paterson was the only pro to make the money and the final table. However, he started the final table with a disadvantaged shortstack and was quickly gone in 7th place after getting outdrawn in several Stud Hi pots. For the majority of the time, it was 3 handed action between Yuvee04 aka Yuval Bronshtein, Superlush, and Myrabbifoo aka Eugene Katchalov. All three players were roughly even in chips and in a dead heat for almost an hour. When the blinds and antes were significantly large enough to commit most of their stacks, Myrabbifoo would knockout both opponents and win $10,725 for taking down this Sunday Night Horse tournament.

David Benyamine wins $500K in $2K/$4K H.O.R.S.E

On Patrick Antonius nosebleed $2,000/$4,000 HORSE table, several sessions went on throughout the day. In the first session, David Benyamine, Patrik Antonius, and Phil Ivey were playing three handed. Benyamine hit a huge rush and built his stack up to $530,000. Ivey had his avatar on angry mode, interestingly enough. Patrik Antonius started to gain some momentum and built his stack up to $300K after Markus Golser, Icallsowhat, and Gus Hansen joined in later. Benyamine is probably the most profitable player in the mixed games so far, having taken many stacks from Phil Ivey in their previous heads up sessions.

Doyle Brunson spotted playing high stakes H.o.r.s.e on Full Tilt Poker

Gus Hansen, Brian Hastings, Doyle Brunson aka TexDolly, Icallsowhat, and Give2love were playing $1k/$2k mixed h.o.r.s.e. games at table Eli Elezra, however Elezra was not sitting in his reserved seat at the time. Everyone seemed to be slightly down and even at the end, however Brunson managed to get his stack up to $110k by winning a few pots and then he left without any notice during the middle of the session. It’s quite strange that his video banner on Doylesroom.com claims that he only plays at Doyle’s Room.
