Put Your Deuces Up! It's Time to Lowball 'Em

An elite field will gather today to battle for one of the most sought-after gold bracelets of the summer. Event #22: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship kicks off at 3 p.m. inside the Brasilia room Sunday afternoon.

This is the second no-limit 2-7 event of the 2017 World Series of Poker (WSOP). 2010 WSOP Player of the Year Frank Kassela bested Bernard Lee just three days ago to win his third bracelet and $89,151 in the $1,500 installment.

With the warm-up out of the way, it’s time to get down to business. In 2016, Jason Mercier topped a 100-strong field filled with the best poker players in the world. Mercier defeated Mike Watson heads up to capture his fourth bracelet and a first-place prize of $273,335.

Joining Mercier and Watson at the final table were Wil Wilkinson, David Grey, Benny Glaser (who also final tabled the $1,500 no-limit 2-7 last week), Stephen Chidwick and Alex Luneau.

Past winners of this prestigious event include Phil Galfond, Paul Volpe, Jesse Martin and Nick Schulman.
