Whilst any budding poker player will tell you that winning a title of any sort shows great skill, ask the professionals and they will declare that being successful in mixed games is the sign of greatness.

More commonly found at the high-stakes cash tables in casinos, H.O.R.S.E is an acronym for the five games played on a rotational basis.

All the games are played with fixed-limit betting rules and can be broken down into the five disciplines as shown:

H - Hold'em
O - Omaha Eight or better
R - Razz
S - Seven card Stud
E - Seven card Stud Eight or better

A H.O.R.S.E tournament was held at the 2004 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and was won by Scott Fischman, the first of his two bracelets that year.

The event was missing for the 2005 series but it made a return in 2006 with a record breaking $50,000 entry fee.

Despite the astronomical buy in amount, 143 players entered and the late David ‘Chip' Reese outlasted all of them to claim a coveted bracelet and $1,716,000 in prize money.

It was a H.O.R.S.E event that started the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe in 2007 and whilst the entry fee was a more palatable £2,500, the big-name professionals turned out in force.

A star studded field of 105 players created a prize pool of £262,500 for Event 1 and after three days of play the final table was set.

Players such as Joe Beevers, Chris Ferguson, Kirk Morrison and Jennifer Harman all made it to the final eight players seated at the feature table, going to show that the professional players have a clear edge in this game.

Eventual champion, Thomas Bihl, defeated top American pro Jennifer Harman after an epic heads-up battle that lasted over 120 hands.

With his victory, Bihl became the first-ever person to win a WSOP bracelet outside of America and £70,875 in prize money.

H.O.R.S.E returns to the 2008 WSOPE, again with a £2,500 entry fee but this time as Event 2.

If you want to catch a glimpse of your favourite poker legend then the H.O.R.S/E event is where you field them all battling it out for the right to call themselves a true champion.
