Shelley Rubenstein gets the first word from this year’s H.O.R.S.E. world champion

You don’t seem to play that many tournaments, so why the H.O.R.S.E.?

I knew I’d have a great shot at the H.O.R.S.E. because I play all the games, plus you start with 100,000 chips. The big difference between the H.O.R.S.E. and other events is that when you take a bad beat in H.O.R.S.E. it’s only a temporary setback, but when you suffer a bad beat in other tournaments it’s a knockout.

Do you find it easy to switch between the games every hour?

I do, but on the second day we were playing Stud and we went to Stud Eight-or-Better and three guys in the game were playing the wrong game for 20 minutes!
