Out of a field of 331 players, who created a prize pool of $886,440, it was Ryan Miller and Leonard August that came back to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas to settle who would be crowned the champion in an extra Day 4 of Event #91: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. After less than a level of heads up play, it was Miller who secured the win and his second bracelet of the summer. He took home $208,460 while August had to settle for the $128,835 that came with his second place.
After outlasting a final table with, among others Todd Brunson, Barbara Enright, and Calvin Anderson, Miller and August sat down at the Horseshoe Event Center to continue play at 2 p.m. They started with six hands left in Omaha eight or better, but they would end up not playing a full rotation of games.
Leonard started off Day 4 well by winning a few pots in Omaha eight or better and razz before Miller took back the lead in stud. With few showdowns throughout the day, it was mostly August folding to Miller's bets that ground him down. With only 20 big bets in play, every pot counted, and eventually August folded postflop in three consecutive limit hold 'em pots and saw himself left with less than one big bet.
