Event #31: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship
Day 3 Started
There are plenty of possible storylines ahead of the final day in Event #31: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Championship with just 10 players remaining from a starting field of 118.
Leading the way is Brian Hastings, already the owner of five WSOP bracelets, looking to become only the 17th player to win six bracelets. Just three of the remaining players have never won a bracelet, with second-in-chips Eric Wasserson joined by Jordan Siegel and shortstack Ali Eslami.
And then there's Phil Hellmuth. Not much needs to be said about the "Poker Brat" as he eyes yet another WSOP title, but he will have to do it the hard way starting eighth in chips.
