€250 H.O.R.S.E.
Level 17: Blinds 6,000/12,000, Ante 12,000, Bring-in 4,000, Limit 1 12,000, Limit 2 12,000
Entries: 3/17
Prize Pool: €3,516

The €250 H.O.R.S.E. attracted 17 Mixed Games connoisseurs, and that translated to a €3,516 prize pool. Three players would get paid; for a long time, it looked like Richard Burke would become the unfortunate bubble boy, but he won a few crucial hands in a row to get back to a semi-decent stack.

During a round of Limit Hold ‘Em, Davide Caramia (the shortest stack) opened to 25,000, leaving himself with a mere 2,000 behind. Action folded to chip leader Sascha Manns, who forced his opponent all in from the Big Blind. Caramia made the call.

Sascha Manns: 8♣4♥
Davide Caramia: A♣J♣

Caramia was ahead, but Manns picked up a gutshot straight draw on the T♠6♥5♥ flop. He received additional outs on the 3♦ turn, and the 2♠ river ultimately sealed the deal. As such, Caramia bubbled, and the remaining three players are now in the money. They are competing for a €1,760 first-place prize.
