"This is the stupidest rule ever!" rang out one of the railbirds here at the final table of Event #37: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. What the person is referring to is the ten-level rule, which has caused this event to come to a halt with just two players remaining for the World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Those two players are Shawn Buchanan and Fabrice Soulier.
Buchanan holds just 910,000 in chips and is very, very short to Soulier's 6.29 million. When the players come back tomorrow, Buchanan will have just about 3.8 big bets left in his stack. Due to him being so short, the entire French rail backing Soulier began booing loudly when the tournament director announced that play would be ending for the night.
The two players will return tomorrow at 3:00 PM PDT to finish things out. It could be over in ten minutes with the amount of chips Buchanan has or it could last another hour or two if he happens to find a double or two early on. You can be sure to follow all of the action right here on PokerNews tomorrow. Until then, goodnight from the Rio.
