Bring on the Kansas City Lowball!

Do you like poker? Then you're going to love what we have in store for you today. It's Day 1 of the $10,000 World Championship No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Draw. This is one of the purest forms of poker you're going to find anywhere on the planet. Chau Giang, playing this game at the 2004 World Series of Poker, memorably remarked, "I love poker," during an intense hand.

Last year, this event was a $5,000 rebuy event that drew 85 runners and was won by Mike "the Mouth" Matusow. With the elimination of all rebuy events at the 2009 World Series of Poker, the price tag on this event has been bumped up to $10,000. We expect similar numbers of runners as last year, and you better believe that almost every entrant is going to be a recognizable face.

Play gets underway at 5pm local time. See you then!
