We began Event #49: $2,500 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball (Limit) with 310 players, and we have narrowed the field down to 105 players returning today at 3:00 PM PST in search of the $189,919 for first place and of course a World Series of Poker gold bracelet.

Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke comes into Day 2 as our chip leader with 69,700 in chips. Close behind are Arturo Diaz (50,200), Mike Gorodinsky (49,400), and Tommy Hang (48,000). Also surviving today's field are two former Main Event Champions, Greg Ramyer (2004) and Joe Hachem (2005). Another player to watch here on Day 2 is Tom "durrrr" Dwan. Dwan has made a few deep runs this year but is still in search of his first WSOP bracelet. He was down to only 700 chips in the last last level of the day, but he's now sitting with 10,800 and looking to continue his end of day heater here on the start of Day 2.

Other notables who made it to Day 2 are Mike Matusow, Daniel Negreanu, Pat Pezzin, Gavin Smith, Robert Williamson III and many more. Among those who weren't fortunate enough to make it to join us today are Jennifer Harman, John Juanda, Eric Froehlich, Shannon Shorr, Nick Schulman, and Hoyt Corkins to name just a few.

Play kicks off here at 3:00 PM PT. Continue to follow all the 2-7 Triple Draw action here PokerNews!

Fricke Starts Day 2 With A Bang

As we wandered over to Jimmy Fricke's table, we saw that he was already involved in some action early on. From early position, Balazs Biri raised it up to 1,200 and Fricke called with each player drawing two.

Fricke bet out 600 and Biri raised it up to 1,200. Fricke called and drew another, Biri stood pat.

After the second draw, Fricke checked, Biri bet 1,200, Fricke check-raised it up to 2,400 and Biri called. Both players elected to stand pat on the third draw and Fricke bet 1,200 with Biri electing just to call.

Fricke showed {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} to have the {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} of Biri just beat. Fricke took a big chunk out of Biri's stack to start the day and he has continued his dominance early here on Day 2.

"Yesssss!"

We caught up to the action to find Joe Tehan raising on the button. Gavin Smith in the small blind then raised, and received a call from Tehan. With Tehan deciding to take two cards, Smith only needed one. After the first draw Smith bet again and received a call.

On the second draw Tehan again took two, and Smith took one. Smith then was able to move all in with his remaining chips and after some goating from Smith and Eli Elezra Tehan decided to make the call.

Tehan took two while Smith stood pat. Smith flipped over {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for an eight low. While Tehan wasn't able to squeeze out the cards he needed and gave them to the muck. With Tehan's fold Smith was able to double up and now hovers at a more manageable 12,000 in chips.

Dwan Continues To Make Moves

We told you before how Tom Dwan was down to only 700 chips during the last level of Day 1, and how he somehow managed to get that number up over 10,000 before the end of the day. Now, he has nearly doubled himself up here early on Day 2.

Jean-Robert Bellande raised it up from early position and got calls from Dwan and Dany Georges. All three players drew two cards each and continued the betting.

Georges bet out 600 and Bellande raised it up to 1,200. Dwan and Georges called and each player drew one. Again, Georges bet out and both Dwan and Bellande called. Georges stood pat and both Dwan and Bellande again drew one.

Georges bet out one last time after the third draw, Bellande folded, and Dwan called and showed {9-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-} to have the pat {9-}{7-}{x-}{x-}{x-} of Georges beat. Dwan is up to 17,000 and now has plenty of chips to play with.

Tannous Beats Fricke

Jimmy Fricke began the day as the chip leader, but has since dropped back to under 60,000 in chips. He's still the top dog right now, but that could change if things keep going south for him. Here's a recent hand that he lost to Abraham Tannous.

Fricke raised and Tannous called pre-draw. Both players drew two cards and then Fricke bet. Tannous raised and Fricke called.

On the second draw, Fricke drew one and Tannous stood pat. Check, bet, call was the subsequent action to follow.

On the third and final draw, Fricke took one more while Tannous stood pat again. Fricke checked and Tannous bet. Fricke folded and Tannous won the pot.

Hachem Loses, but Also Wins

[user198174]

Abraham Tannous started this hand out by putting out a bet preflop. He found a caller in both the blinds, Joe Hachem in the small blind, and a short stacked Balazs Biri in the big blind. Both Tannous and Hachem took two cards, while Biri only took one.

After the initial draw Hachem took control and put out a bet, Biri called and was all in. Tannous also made the call. This time around Hachem took one card and Tannous took two, while Biri stood pat. Hachem continued his aggression and bet again, and was called. Both Hachem and Tannous took one card and again Biri stood pat.

It was here that Hachem bet one final time, to which Tannous showed he paired up and threw away his cards. Hachem showed a queen low, while the forgotten Biri showed an eight low. Biri was able to triple up and Hachem was able to take a few chips from Tannous from the side pot.
