Why a horse tourney? There are 3 stud games... pfff.

They should have a holdem, an omaha, a stud, and a lowball-draw.

Most of what they play at the "big game" is limit mixed games, so some of the superstars wanted that as an event. It is also considered a supreme test of skill. There are also other high stakes and high midlimit mixed games. A lot of older players know the games well from when they were all popular.
