Welcome to Day 1 of Event #49: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship at the 2021 World Series of Poker. Cards go in the air at 3 p.m. for this popular no-limit variant of deuce-to-seven lowball.

Jim Bechtel, the 1993 Main Event champion, beat Vince Musso in the 2019 event to win his second WSOP gold bracelet. The win set a new record for the longest time between two WSOP victories, and Bechtel will have an opportunity to become the back-to-back champion this week.

The prestigious lowball event has been running since 1973 and it is expected to attract a high profile field of poker stars looking to add their name to a list of past champions that includes Mike Matusow, Erik Seidel, Brian Rast, Phil Galfond, John Juanda, and two-time winner Nick Schulman.

Phil Hellmuth will also have the chance to earn more deuce-to-seven gold after winning his 16th bracelet in $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw earlier in the series.
