Chad Brown got all his chips in the middle in a three-way pot with Chino Rheem and Shunjiro Uchida. Chino drew two, Uchida stood pat, and Brown took one. After the draw, Rheem and Uchida checked. Chino revealed that he'd drawn to sixes to make an extremely unhelpful 
. The case six that Brown drew was even worse, giving him a six-high straight. Uchida's pat 
took the pot and sent Brown to the rail.
Despite dropping that pot, Chino still has a field-leading 82,000. Uchida built to 27,000 with Brown's bust.
"We wanna petition this game to be changed to Kansas City Lowball" stated Nick Binger towards the direction of one of our PokerNews reporters.
"We reckon that it sounds better then 2-7 Draw and will also attract more players" Binger added.
Kansas City Lowball can be defined as a variation of poker in which players attempt to make the weakest poker hand possible rather than the strongest, aces are considered high cards, and straights and flushes are considered high hands; lowball in which the best possible hand is 2-3-4-5-7 without a flush.
So effectively we are already playing Kansas City Lowball!
Nick Schulman three-bet all in for an additional 10,200 and found a fold from the original raiser in Jose-Luis Velador before Danny Estes made the call to put Schulman at risk.
Schulman thought for a while before standing pat with his 
as Estes drew one to his 
.
"Anything below a ten baby!" Estes pleaded to the dealer as he stood up to await his draw.
Although it was below a ten, it also paired his eight to see Schulman double to over 26,000 as Estes slips to just 3,100 in chips.
There are still two empty seats in the field today. Thomas Roupe is unaccounted for, and his 18,000-chip stack is getting lonely at Table 367. Tom Dwan's stack has been blinded down to 5,500, but at least durrrr has a good excuse. He's a little busy maintaining his chip lead with 19 players left in Event #11, a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em tournament. He managed to build that stack while running back-and-forth between tournaments yesterday, but we can forgive him for neglecting his 2-7 stack this afternoon.
Gary Tang started the day 40 minutes ago with 5,400. He's built all the way up to 23,000 and knocked out Connor Allisen in the process. Tang raised to 1,200 under the gun, and when Allisen moved all in for another 4,000, Tang called. He drew one while Allisen stood pat with a ten-eight low. Tang pulled a 
, which slid nicely into his and eliminated Allisen.
Sigi Stockinger opened to 1,500 only to have Brandon Cantu move all in for roughly 10,000. Thomas Ricketts also moved all in from the small blind as Stockinger folded.
Ricketts tapped the table indicating he was standing pat while Cantu drew one.
"I have an eight" stated Ricketts.
"An eight?" asked a shocked Cantu as he was shown Ricketts .
Before Cantu had even received his draw he just tossed his hand into the muck and made his way to the rail as Ricketts climbed back to 22,000 in chips.
JC Tran bet after the draw, and when Aaron Cooper moved all in, Tran quickly called. "You got me," Cooper said, and he was correct. JC showed to take the pot and eliminate Cooper. Tran is up to 45,000 now.
Will Failla's last 2,000 chips were taken by Loi Phan.
Bryan Micon opened to 1,250 from early position only to have David 'Chino' Rheem three-bet to 5,250 form the hijack.
On the button, Jeff Lisandro four-bet all in for roughly his last 6,000 in chips, and once Micon folded, Rheem made the call.
Both players stood pat with Rheem tabling his to prompt a fold from Lisandro as he made his way to the rail while Rheem climbed to 76,000 in chips.
