Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Giorno 2 completo
Day 2 of Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw lived up to its promise, as some of the best players in the world clashed in what some call “the purest form of poker.” Multiple WSOP bracelet winners, Main Event Champions, and those vying to add a first bracelet to their illustrious careers did battle, winnowing their way from 159 hopefuls to a select 24 who will meet again on Day 3 to crown a champion.
Among those distinguishing themselves on Day 2 include nine-time bracelet winner and WSOP Hall of Famer Erik Seidel, who operated all day as a silent assassin, continuing the dominance he showed on Day 1. Seidel placed himself in a prime position to join Johnny Chan and honor the legacy of Doyle Brunson as the only ten-time bracelet winners. Chan himself fell short of an 11th bracelet, busting out early on Day 2.
Five-time winner Adam Friedman also finds himself among the leaders, sparring with Seidel often as they sat alongside each other for a sizable portion of the day’s endgame.
Chip leader Ryan Moriarty continues to surprise in 2023 WSOP lowball events, having finished second to Nick Pupillo in Event #52: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball (which combines 2-7 triple draw, A-5, and Badugi) just last week.
Bracelet winners Nick Guagenti, Chad Himmelspach, Robert Campbell, and Richard Ashby fill out the top ten chip counts, along with surprise challenger Robert Massman.
Massman is a longtime lowball pro from California who returned to the WSOP streets after a long absence. With his son (who himself cashed a Main Event satellite Tuesday) as his biggest supporter on the rail, “Razzman” will return on Day 3 to make a run at a potential heartwarming Cinderella story.

Phil Hellmuth, who has had so many deep runs this year, was unable to complete his pursuit of a 17th bracelet, and a second in no-limit 2-7.
Among others coming up short of lowball glory on Day 2 were John Monnette, Barry Greenstein, Benny Glaser, Brian Hastings, Brian Rast, Michael Moncek, Tom Schneider, Greg Raymer, Chris Vitch, Jim Collopy, Koray Aldemir, Allen Kessler, Ryan DePaulo, and Chino Rheem.
Day 3 will restart on June 28 at 1:00 p.m. local time at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas and play down to the eventual winner. There will be 15-minute breaks every two levels and a dinner break that is yet to be decided.

Ryan Moriarty raised 38,000 from under the gun and Matt Vengrin called from the cutoff.
Each drew one, and then checked post-draw. Moriarty announced a pair, then Vengrin said me too.
Moriarty laughed and said, "Threes." which was enough to beat Vengrin's fives.

With ten minutes left on the clock, the tournament director has announced that each table will play two more hands before the survivors bag for the night.
Robert Campbell opened to 48,000 out of the small blind and Philip Sternheimer made the call in the big blind.
Campbell stood pat while Sternheimer took one card. Following the draw, Campbell led out for 72,000. That sent Sternheimer deep into the tank as he took several minutes to make a decision. After that time, he mucked his holding to concede the pot to Campbell, saying "I wish I could turn back time".

Picking up the action after the draw, Wing Liu in the big blind was involved in a hand with Michael Chow in middle position. With a substantial pot already brewing, Liu checked to Chow who moved all in for 302,000. Liu thought for quite some time but ultimately committed calling chips. He was shown the bad news, however, after Chow turned over 8x5x4x3x2x to score the late double, crippling Liu in the process.

From early position Chris Brewer raised to 37,000 and Joao Dorneles Neto called from the small blind.
Dorneles Neto took one, and Brewer patted. Brewer then continued for 50,000 and Dorneles Neto went swimming in the deep end of the tank.
He riffled his chips, he counted his stack, he counted the pot, he grabbed a stack of green calling chips and then set them back down. After three minutes of contemplation, he decided he couldn't make the call.

Adam Friedman opened to 27,000 on the button and Erik Seidel responded with a three-bet to 117,000 out of the big blind, getting a quick call from Friedman.
Seidel took one while Friedman chose to stand pat after which Seidel led out for 150,000. Barely had the bet been announced by the dealer before Friedman made the call. His hand was no good, however, tossing it away after Seidel tabled 10x7x4x3x2x.
