Event #29: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship attracted 77 players — one of the smallest fields in the modern WSOP era — and created a prize pool of $723,800. That will be distributed to the top 14 players with the eventual winner taking home $224,383.

The man best positioned to make a run at the top prize is Nick Schulman, who bagged 229,000. The two-time bracelet winner is looking to capture the title for the third time having previously won the same event in both 2009 and 2012.

Among those to fall on Day 1 were Daniel Negreanu, Jason Mercier, Justin Bonomo, Mohsin Charania, and Antonio Esfandiari.

Day 2 will kick off at 2 p.m. local time on Sunday as the remaining players look to play 10 more levels.
