Event 30: $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball, Day 1
Welcome to the World Series of Poker Event 30: $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball. This is one of the most fun events in the entire schedule. Unlike its Triple Draw variant of a brother, this game is played No-Limit, rather than limit. The players are also only allowed to draw once, rather than three times. The result of this means that there is an awful lot of opportunities to apply pressure on opponents, bluff, and try to make a hero out of yourself.
Matt Perrins of the UK bettered 274 players last year en route to claiming his maiden bracelet and $102,105. Not a bad achievement considering he'd hardly played the game before.
Here's a full list of previous winners of this event:
| Year | Player | Prize | # of Entrants |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | Phil Ivey | $96,367 | 147 |
| 2010 | Yan Chen | $92,817 | 250 |
| 2011 | Matt Perrins | $102,105 | 275 |
We expect this to be a small but stacked field. Join us back here at 5:00 PM for the start of the eight levels we'll play today.
