The WSOP $50,000 HORSE Championship has seen some amazing players busting out today. The sick field of WSOP legends has been whittled away to 12 survivors.

The twelve remaining are: Matt Glantz with 1,875,000, Eric Lindgren with 1,765,000, Ralph Perry with 1,680,000, Huck Seed with 1,650,000, David Bach with 1,450,000, Scotty Nguyen with 1,420,000, Michael DeMichele with 1,230,000, Raymond Davis with 975,000, Lyle Berman with 635,000, Barry Greenstein with 550,000, Phil Ivey with 505,000 and Patrick Bueno with 440,000.

The bubble broke earlier today and 10 time WSOP bracelet winner Doyle Brunson ended up being the first person eliminated after it burst. He cashed for $124,320 for his 16th place finish.

Next out was Andy Bloch who also earned $124,320. Then it was Joseph Michael who made$142,080 for his 14th place finish.

Then it was Daniel Negreanu who hit the rails in 13th place after getting all his chips in against Lyle Berman. Negreanu was in the lead but Berman went on to make make a full house. Negreanu also earned $142,080.

Now most recently Phil Ivey was eliminated. Ivey got into it with the Prince of Poker, Scotty Nguyen in a hand of Stud. Nguyen bet out on every street with Ivey calling the whole way down until his last chip was in the pot on fifth street. Ivey showed 3h-3s-6h-Qs-9h while Nguyen showed Kh-10h-Ac-7d-Qd. The river spelled Ivey's doom however with the Ace of Diamonds. Ivey's 12th place finish earned him $159,840.

TJ Cloutier and Marcel Luske we hardly knew ye.

Freddy Deeb might have won this event last year but this year he went home empty handed.

Insert joke about how Jesus failed to pull off a miracle this time.

Like sand in the hour glass… so too were Annie Duke and Doyle Brunson's tournament lives.

Team Bodog's Justin Bonomo failed take WSOP vengeance on the tournament that he bubbled in last year.

Isabelle Mercier, your cleavage was insufficient to save you.

Gus Hansen. You were chip leader and the main mark for a WSOP prostitute and then you were gone.
