Event #29: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship attracted 77 players and created a prize pool of $723,800, but on Sunday 32 returned for Day 2 action. By the end of the night, only six would remain with Dan Smith and his stack of 661,000 leading the way.

Others still in contention include Nick Schulman (554,000), who has won the event two times before, Jon Turner (439,000), Erik Seidel (265,000), Phil Galfond (255,000), and Eli Elezra (160,000.

The day began with players looking to make the money at the top 14, but that proved easier said than done for 18 of them. Among those to fall short of the money were Jeff Lisandro, Mike Leag, Brian Hastings, Matt Glantz, Huck Seed, Shaun Deeb, Billy Baxter, and bubble boy Mike Gorodinsky, who if you recall finished runner-up to Phil Hellmuth in the $10,000 Razz Championship last week.

Rep Porter was the first to collect a cash, taking $14,693 for his 14th-place finish, and he soon had company on the rail. Jesse Martin (13th - $14,693), Mike Watson (12th - $14,693), Farzad Bonyadi (11th - $17,067), George Danzer (10th - $17,067), Jorryt van Hoof (9th - $17,067), and Bernard Lee (8th - $19,824) all took their leave before night's end.

According to updates from the event, Lee fell after he opened for 14,000 and Adam Owen shoved all in for 119,5000 from the big blind. Lee only had 108,000 total, and opted to call it off before drawing one. Owen stood pat with {10-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Lee showed he was drawing live to a {7-}{6-}{5-}{2-}, but he failed to get there as he paired a {5-} on the draw. The UK's Adam Owen would follow Lee out the door in seventh place.
