Yesterday saw 282 Triple Draw players get whittled down to just 88, and after eight levels of play, Juijen Chang comes into today’s play with a chip leading stack of 66,000. The only other player close to that marker is Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, who finished up with 58,300 even though he sat out the entire last level.
The 2-7 tournaments always draw a majority of pro heavy fields, and it was no exception in this event as nearly half the field is made up of notable players. Some of the players returning today are David “ODB” Baker (46,900), Marco Johnson (40,000), Gavin Smith (36,900), Tom Schneider (32,300), Daniel Negreanu (24,400), Mike Leah (23,000), David Chiu (28,500), Daniel Idema (21,500), and Scott Seiver (18,900).
The 88 surviving players will be walking through the doors of the Rio at 2 p.m. local time to play ten more levels of triple draw poker. As always, Pokernews.com will be here with all of your up to date action. The action will be getting underway soon!

The announcements have been made, and the gambling has begun!
Action folded to Ismael Bojang on the button, and he put out a raise. Jon Seaman was the lone caller from the big blind, and both players drew three cards. Seaman led right out, and Bojang raised him. Seaman called, then both players drew one card. Seaman check called a bet, then drew one, while Bojang stood pat. Despite this, Seaman fired right out, and Bojang's eyebrows raised. He rechecked his hole cards, then sent them to the dealer, giving the early pot to Seaman.

Jason Mercier began today 87th out of 88 players in the counts, but he's gotten off on the right foot after taking a pot off of Naoya Kihara.
We caught up with the hand on the second draw, by which point Mercier was standing pat while Kihara was drawing one on each of the last two opportunities. Kihara check-called Mercier's bet after the second draw, then both checked on the end.
"I have a deuce," said Kihara, showing a . Mercier spread out his hand — — and it was good enough as Kihara mucked.

David Self and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi had just completed the first draw when we arrived at the table. Self bet out, Mizrachi called, then Self drew one card. Mizrachi drew two, and Self bet out again. Mizrachi called, then both players drew one, with Mizrachi accidentally flipping over his draw card, the . Self checked it, and Mizrachi fired out. Self made the call, and Mizrachi announced "pair." Self tabled the , then the rest of his hand, for a winning hand.

Annie Wang began today as the lone woman left in the field of 88, while Jeff Siegal started with the shortest stack of all of the returners.
Siegal added a few during the first half-hour, but he just lost some back to Wang after calling her bet after the third draw, then watching as she turned over a number four — — and mucking.

Annie Wang | 32,000 | 5,700 |
Jeff Siegal | 3,600 | 1,000 |
