LAS VEGAS— Three of five prior tournament winners at the World Series of Poker have been eliminated from the final table of the mixed-game H.O.R.S.E event.

Two gold bracelet winners remained in the tournament Tuesday night among five players at the final table seeking the $1.28 million top prize.
They include chip leader Vitaly Lunkin, a Russian professional who won $1.9 million earlier this month in a $40,000 buy-in no-limit Texas Hold ’em tournament.
Gone are past champions Erik Seidel, Chau Giang and Ville Wahlbeck.
Many consider the H.O.R.S.E. tournament the series’ most prestigious behind its no-limit Texas Hold ’em main event.
The $50,000 buy-in tournament rotates five games and tests the all-around player more than no-limit Hold ’em.
