Bob Bright opened to 400 from under the gun and Brian Hastings three-bet the action to 1,400 from the button. It folded back around to Bright who thought for a moment before flicking out a call.
Bright threw away one card while Hastings stood pat. Bright checked it over to Hastings and he tapped the table behind.
Bright fanned 
on the felt and Hastings threw his cards into the muck. Bright dragged in the pot and is now just above starting stack.

We arrived at the table just in time to find all of both Dee Tiller and John Monnette's chips in the center of the table. The players were post-draw with the action completed and each player was playing with just their first lammer in play. Tiller was the one at risk with 8,770 in chips.
Monnette fanned 
and Tiller let out a yelp as he looked at Monnette's hand, back at his own, and threw them into the muck. Monnette was able to drag in the pot and force Tiller to tap into his first lammer.

Welcome to our coverage of Event #43: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball here at the 2013 World Series of Poker! We are live from the Amazon room to provide you with live updates from the tournament floor for what is arguably one of the most coveted bracelets on the schedule. Why, you ask? Many top name pros refer to No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball as "pure poker". Players play without community cards or upcards and are therefore given zero information about their opponent's hand when compared to their own. With this in mind, the game sparks lots of action and a "go with your reads" mentality. This, coupled with the $10,000 entry fee, means that this tournament will spawn one of the smaller fields of this year's WSOP. While the field will remain small, the competition will be fierce, as most of the game's top professionals will be taking a seat for this event.
Last year this tournament had just 101 runners and was won by the one and only Nick Schulman. Schulman was able to defeat Mike Wattel heads up to claim not only his second WSOP bracelet, but also his second bracelet in this very event (Schulman also won the $10,000 2-7 bracelet in 2009). Also present at last year's final table was John Juanda, who defeated Phil Hellmuth heads up in this event in 2011, famously denying the PokerBrat what would have been his then 12th bracelet. Other names to appear at last year's final table include George Danzer, Benjamin Parker, Ashton Griffin, and Bob Bright.
We expect to see fireworks fly early here in the Amazon room as players attempt to consistently show down the worst hand possible in order to clasp a gold WSOP bracelet around their wrist. Play kicks off at 5:00 PM PST, so be sure to stay tuned as we bring you all of the action from the felt!
The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.
While the site has yet to launch, you can head to the Lambada Room of the Rio or look for one of the beautiful and friendly WSOP.com ladies walking the hallways to sign up for a free, personal WSOP.com online poker account. This is a great way to get a jump on the site's registration, and plenty of people have already taken this opportunity.
What's more is that the WSOP will be hosting daily raffles for everyone that has taken the time to register for WSOP.com at the Rio. What can you win? Plenty of fantastic prizes including 36 WSOP seats!
Players 21 years of age and older who sign up for a WSOP.com account will automatically be entered into the “36-Seat Giveaway” where a randomly-selected winner will win a seat into the next day’s first WSOP gold bracelet event. One of the events eligible in this promotion is the $111,111 One Drop High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament that is expected to feature a $10,000,000 prize pool and allow you to play poker with the biggest names in the game. In total, $182,333 in WSOP seats, including a seat to the WSOP Main Event, are being given away during this one-of-a-kind WSOP.com promotion.
In addition to the 36-Seat Giveaway, a “Hot Seat” promotion will allow any player who signs up for a WSOP.com online account and wears their WSOP.com patch on their chest at the table while playing an event to be randomly selected to receive 500 bonus dollars deposited directly into their WSOP.com online account once the site has received all regulatory approvals and launches.
With 62 WSOP gold bracelet events and three winners promised for the Main Event, this promotion includes $32,000 worth of value to those participating.
