Event 9: Defending Champ?

$400 + $50 H.O.R.S.E.

Stann & Englebert

The last two Borgata HOSE winners are in the field as Glenn Englebert (Summer Poker Open) and "Hollywood" Dave Stann (Spring Poker Open) are looking to take down the casino's first HORSE tournament.

Englebert (Erial, NJ) is the closest thing to a defending champion in an inaugural event, but he can always lay claim to being the last HOSE winner now that the game on the extinct list.

"Everytime I win a tournament they stop having it," says Englebert who won the Limit event in the Winter Poker Open which is no longer on the schedule. "It's okay because I like Razz," noting the "R" in HORSE.

"It just made this tournament easier for me to win," says Stann, "Razz is my favorite game."

When he realized he won't be known as the last HOSE winner in Borgata history he's quick to say that he won the last one he played.

More than 100 players are in the HORSE field as the cage verifies the official count and prize pool.
