Published on July 3rd, 2015 8:13 pm ESTEli Elezra is in contention to win his second World Series of Poker bracelet of the summer (and fourth of his career) as he is currently leading the $10,000 HORSE Championship with just 16 players remaining.
Last week, Elezra took down the third bracelet of his career after winning the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event for $112,591. Elezra, who has frequently appeared on televised cash games and tournaments over the years, has followed this up with an impressive showing in the $10,000 HORSE event.

Joe Hachem (third in chips)
Frank Kassela (fifth in chips)
Barry Greenstein (tenth in chips)
Scotty Nguyen (eleventh in chips)
As of this moment, Eli Elezra has 640,000 in chips, while his next closest competitor, Daniel Ospina, has 517,000.
