The $2000/$4000 HORSE game at Full Tilt

The $2000/$4000 HORSE game went off Wednesday night, and the horse poker action was live, if you hadn’t already guessed. Two Full Tilt Red Pros played in the game, as well as two non signed players. David Oppenheim and Gus Hansen were part of the game, as were players ‘frog22′ and Steve Sung. We joined the game when the starting stacks were as follows. David Oppenheim had $132,000 on the table, followed by Gus Hansen’s $110,000, ‘frog22’s $108,000 and Steve Sung’s $78,000 in online chips. We joined in the middle of the Stud Hi round, and Steve Sung and David Oppenheim start us off in the following hand. Oppenheim put in a raise on seventh street and ended up taking the pot at showdown.
