[user139916]

Nível 10 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Day 1 of Event #49: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship has concluded with 32 players of the 92 starters advancing to Day 2.

Bagging a solid chip lead was Johannes Becker, leading the field with 526,500. Rounding out the top five are Benny Glaser (396,500), Luke Schwartz (321,500), Mark Gregorich (275,000) and Daniel Ospina (258,500). When the chip leader bags more than double that of fifth in chips in a limit tournament, you know it was an excellent day. Becker was in his seat from the moment cards were in the air and he immediately chipped up, holding a place near the top of the chip counts for the majority of Day 1 before running away with the lead in the last two levels.

Among the many big names who bagged include bracelet winners Rep Porter (216,500), Calvin Anderson (208,000), Brian Hastings (191,000), Hanh Tran (172,000), $1,500 2-7 champion Robert Campbell (161,000), Marco Johnson (157,500), Brian Yoon (152,000), David "ODB" Baker (132,500), Mike Matusow (97,000), David Bach (66,000) and Jeremy Ausmus (20,000).

Among those who didn't find a bag for Day 2 include Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Anthony Zinno, James Obst, Phillip Hui, Greg Mueller, Daniel Zack, Scott Clements, Greg Mueller and defending champion Nicholas Seiken.

Registration remains open until the cards are back in the air for Day 2 on Friday at 2 p.m., when limits of 4,000/8,000 will kick off the action. As always, PokerNews will be back to provide live updates throughout the day.

The $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship Begins at 3 p.m.

[user139916]

Welcome to Day 1 coverage of Event #49: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship.

The 2019 World Series of Poker is just about at the halfway point and the mixed-game portion of the docket is in full swing. Just a week after the $1,500 version of this variant took place, it's time for the world championship of Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw to take center stage.

Since this tournament's inception in 2014, the event has bounced between 80 and 120 entrants and a few of poker's biggest names have emerged victorious. Tuan Le kicked it off by going back-to-back in 2014 and 2015. John "World" Hennigan won his then fourth of six bracelets in 2016, while Ben Yu took it down in 2017 to win the second of his three bracelets. Nicholas Seiken is the defending champion, and it's likely that all of these past champions will be in the field today.
