Single Draw Action Ready to Begin
Welcome back to our ongoing coverage of the 2014 World Series of Poker! Today marks the start of Event #13: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw, where poker's elite will come out to compete in one of the purest games of poker.
The $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 single draw event has been a staple of the World Series of Poker and consistently attracts the top pros. Last year, the event saw a field of 87 total entrants and was whittled down to an absolutely stacked final table. The likes of John Hennigan, Layne Flack, Jon Turner, and Konstantine Puchkov had seats at the final table but fell short before being able to claim the ever-elusive bracelet. In the end, Jesse Martin was able to overcome David "Bakes" Baker during heads up play, denying Bakes his second bracelet in this game and earning Martin $253,524 in prize money.
We expect to see dozens of familiar faces comes out for this event, including two-time 2-7 Single Draw bracelet winner Nick Schulman, 2-7 bracelet winner John Juanda, Greg Raymer, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, and many more.
For those unfamiliar with the rules of this game, each player is dealt five cards in an attempt to make the best low hand. The best possible hand, or the wheel, is 2-3-4-5-7 off suit. Flushes and straights count against players. After the deal there is a round of betting, then each active player can draw any amount of new cards to their hand. There is one more round of betting and then the hands are showed down.
Play kicks of at 4 p.m. in the Orange section of the Amazon room. As always, be sure to stay tuned here to PokerNews for all of the latest from the felt!

Volpe Ships on Danzer
Level 1
: 50/100, 25 ante
We arrived at the table to find George Danzer contemplating his action after Paul Volpe moved all in post-draw. From what we can gather, Danzer had pushed 4,500 into the middle and Volpe shipped over the top. Ultimately, Danzer slapped his hand into the muck and Volpe was pushed a sizable pot early.

Eighty-Seven for Watson
Level 1
: 50/100, 25 ante
Mike Watson came in for a raise to 300 from early position and Mike Wattel made it 1,200 to go from the next seat over. Action came back around to Watson and he called.
Watson pulled one new card at the draw while Wattel opted to stand pat. Watson came out swinging for 2,500 and Wattel tossed out a call. Watson fanned 
and took down the pot. Watson picked up the chips and now has about 36,200.

Level 1
: 50/100, 25 ante
We've spotted a few new faces in the field, including two-time NL 2-7 Single Draw bracelet winner Nick Schulman. Schulman won his first WSOP bracelet back in 2009 when he found himself at the $10K NL 2-7 final table. Schulman was joined by the likes of David Benyamine, Archie Karas, John Juanda, and Steve Sung on the quest for that bracelet. In the end, Schulman overcame Ville Wahlbeck heads up to claim $279,751 in first-place prize money.
Three years later, Schulman once again rose to the top of a stacked field to claim a seat at the final table of this event. That year, Schulman outlasted a final table of Bob Bright, Juanda, Asthon Griffin, George Danzer, and Mike Wattel to earn his second bracelet and $294,321.
Schulman continued to show his proficiency in draw games this year, racking up a final table appearance in Event #5: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship. Schulman ultimately finished in 4th place, pocketing him a payday of $99,015.
