Day 1 Completed
After eight levels of play, Day 1 came to completion for Event No. 7: $2,500 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball. When registration closed, a total of 291 entrants had paid their way into the tournament. After the final hands were played, only about a third of them remained, cutting the field size by a good portion.
What's good about this year's event is that the field was a good amount bigger this year as compared to last year. A bigger prizepool was created and the notables came out in full force to start another quest for a gold bracelet. Some of those included in the field today were Mike Matusow, Phil Ivey, Justin "BoostedJ" Smith, Daniel Negreanu, Gavin Smith, Richard Toth, Billy Baxter and Steve Sung. All of those failed to make it to the end of the day.
On the other side of the spectrum were Allen Kessler, Hoyt Corkins and Greg Mueller. All had great days on the felt and built some big stacks by day's end. Corkins finished with what looks to be the top stack, bagging up 63,400 chips. Jameson Painter may not be a big name in the poker world, but he came away with 55,200 chips at the end of the day and sits towards the top of the pack.
Play resumes tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. local time right back here in the Amazon room at the Rio. PokerNews will be on hand to bring you all the live updates from the felt as we move towards another crowning of a champion.
