"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!
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.
David 'Chino' Rheem opened to 1,500 from the hijack and Peter Gelencser made the call from the button before Michael Binger moved all in for 9,500 total.
Rheem contemplated a decision for nearly three minutes before folding as Gelencser took nearly the same time before calling.
Binger stood pat and tabled his as Gelencser drew one tabling his .
"That's going to be brutal. Good game guys" stated Binger as he stood up already believing his fate was sealed with an elimination.
Gelencser reached for his draw card and instantly flipped it over revealing the to take the lead from Binger.
"F**k! How do you f**king call that!" screamed Binger as he packed his belongings.
As Gelencser stacked his chips to amount to over 32,000, Binger continued to utter expletives as he made his way from the tournament floor and to the rail.
Sean Snyder raised to 1,300 in the small blind, and Nick Binger called in the big. Snyder stood pat while Binger traded in one card. Both players checked after the draw, and Snyder turned up . Binger's jack-eight was enough to best Snyder and take the small pot.
Team PokerStars Pro started with three representatives today. Chad Brown made an early exit, and Dario Minieri has been on the decline. He's down to 20,000. But Team PokerStars Pro Russia member Alex Kravchenko is crushing his table so far.
In a recent hand, Joseph Marchal opened to 1,200 from the cutoff, and on the button, Kravchenko reraised to 3,800. After a moment, Marchal called, and both players took a card. Then Marchal checked, and Kravchenko slid out a big bet. Marchal sighed and threw down , sending the pot to Kravchenko. He is up to 52,000 while Marchal is on life support with under 4,000.
Tom Dwan who is currently chip leader of Event #12 ran over to play a few hands of lowball as his stack was getting severely short. There was no showdowns that we saw, but he was able to double his stack back above the 10k mark.
Dwan should probably buy a bigger monitor to handle all these tables.
