Event #38: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship
Day 1 Completed
Day 1 of Event #38: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship has come to an end after ten 60-minute levels. The event saw 110 entrants, having started the day with just 5 players. With registration open until Day 2 starts, it will almost certainly beat the field total drawn to the same event last year. Players who have played one bullet can fire once again, as one re-entry is available.
Talking of which, reigning champion Farzad Bonyadi is alive and kicking. The man of Iranian origin netted $297,051 for his win last year and is looking to go back-to-back. He's amongst the bigger stacks of the room after getting high on the chip counts early and cruising. Fan-favorite Andre Templeman had a swingy day after he self-proclaimed that he had learnt the game just earlier today.
When the action closed, it is believed that Mark Johns is the chipleader with 424,500 chips.
Others bagging up pretty stacks for the next day, include Phil Hellmuth (197,500), who joined late and surged up the leaderboard, Scott Seiver (226,000), Alex Livingston (320,000), Bradley Anderson (233,000), Darren Elias (267,500) and Jeremy Ausmus (262,500).
Shaun Deeb, sporting his sparkly black hat, fired two bullets to no avail. The same fate was unfortunately bestowed upon Ben Lamb, Matthew Gonzales and Dan Smith.

After a swingy day, going to chip leader, then losing two thirds of his stack, Bradley Anderson is now back near the top of the leaderboard after he doubled up.
PokerNews isn't sure how the money went in but Anderson was standing pat with his 120,000 or so committed to the pot against a similar stack.
Anderson's held against the that drew a to pair his hand.

Level: 10
Blinds: 1,000/2,500
Ante: 2,500
Darren Elias had squeezed from the big blind to 18,000 over the Cary Katz open of 5,000 and call from the small blind. Katz let it go and the small blind called.
The small blind discarded and drew one and Elias stood pat.
The small blind checked before Elias fired 50,000, with the small blind having around 80,000 behind. Eventually, the small blind let his hand go and Elias is trending back upwards.
We're entering the last level of the day.

After Matthew ''MJ'' Gonzales moved all in from the big blind for his last 49,500 chips, Andre Templeman called it off from the cutoff.
Both players drew one card and Gonzales could only manage to draw a queen against Templeman's ten to send MJ packing. He didn't even get his hands on Templeman's horse mascot/card protector, either.
