Triple Draw Action Set to Begin!
Welcome to PokerNews' live coverage of Event #5: $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw! This is the first draw game on this year's schedule and it will surely have a field stacked with notable professional players.
This is the first of two triple draw events this summer with another sporting a $1,500 buy-in coming a week from today. The $10,000 buy-in format is new for the 2014 WSOP, as last year the only 2-7 Triple Draw event was a $2,500 buy-in. That event drew 282 entries and the cream rose to the top of the field. The final table included the likes of Scott Seiver, David "ODB" Baker, and David Chiu. Eli Elezra and Daniel Negreanu played heads up for the bracelet with Elezra ultimately coming out on top. He pocketed $173,236 for his victory and earned his second gold bracelet.
The field will play ten 60-minute levels today with a 15-minute break after every two levels. There will be no dinner break. This will lead to players bagging up around 3 a.m.

Play kicks off at 4 p.m. local time. As always, PokerNews will be on hand with the latest updates from the tournament floor!

Wright Shows Clubs
Level 1
: 200/400, 0 ante
Action folded around to Randy Ohel in the cutoff and he put out a raise. Larry Wright called from the button and Jon Turner tagged along from the big blind. On the first draw, Turner took three while Ohel and Wright each took two. Turner checked, Ohel bet, and Wright raised. Turner got out of the way and Ohel stuck around.
On the second draw, Ohel drew one while Wright opted to stand pat. Ohel checked and Wright fired out a bet. Ohel let his hand go and Wright showed 
.
"I had some low clubs so I don't think you had a flush," said Ohel with a smile. Wright returned a grin as he stacked his new chips.
Wright is no stranger to success in draw games. In fact, back in 2012 he won his first and only WSOP bracelet in the $1,500 2-7 No-Limit Single Draw event. For that win, Wright pocketed $101,975. While triple draw is a significantly different game from no-limit single draw, Wright will still be calling on the same base skill set in an attempt at rising to the top of this stacked field.

Bakes Over Mosseri
Level 1
: 200/400, 0 ante
Action folded around to Abe Mosseri in the small blind and he cut out a raise. Two-time WSOP bracelet winner David "Bakes" Baker flatted out of the big blind. Mosseri took one card while Baker drew three. Mosseri led out and Bakes called.
On the second draw, Mosseri stood pat and Baker took one. Mosseri bet, Baker raised, and Mosseri called. Both players stood pat on the final draw and Mosseri checked. Baker fired one last bet and Mosseri called.
Baker fanned an eight-perfect — 
— and dragged in the pot.
