There are plenty of possible storylines ahead of the final day in Event #31: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Championship with just 10 players remaining from a starting field of 118.

Leading the way is Brian Hastings, already the owner of five WSOP bracelets, looking to become only the 17th player to win six bracelets. Just three of the remaining players have never won a bracelet, with second-in-chips Eric Wasserson joined by Jordan Siegel and shortstack Ali Eslami.

And then there's Phil Hellmuth. Not much needs to be said about the "Poker Brat" as he eyes yet another WSOP title, but he will have to do it the hard way starting eighth in chips.

Eslami Finds Early Double

Level 18

Ali Eslami opened from under the gun and was three-bet by Daniel Zack on the button.

Eslami took one card to Zack's two on the initial draw, after which he check-called a bet from Zack.

On the second draw the same drawing pattern was repeated and action checked through to the final draw, where Eslami stood pat and Zack took one more card. Eslami then moved all in and was called by Zack. Eslami tabled {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, which was good enough to secure the early double up on Day 3.

Deeb Bests Johnson Again

Level 18
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

Marco Johnson drew two and Shaun Deeb drew one. Johnson check-called a bet.

Johnson drew two again with Deeb standing pat. Again Johnson called a bet.

Johnson drew one and Deeb stood pat. Both players checked.

"You got it," said Johnson.

"Turn it up," said Deeb, and Johnson tabled {a-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Deeb showed {9-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-} and won the pot.

"Just to be clear," said Johnson. "If it goes check-check and I say 'You got it' you want me to turn my hand up?"

"Draws are very important Marco," replied Deeb.

Ali Eslami Eliminated in 10th Place ($25,009)

Level 18
Ali Eslami
Ali Eslami

Ali Eslami in the big blind was involved in a hand with Daniel Zack on the button.

On the first draw, Eslami took two cards while Zack drew one. Eslami then checked to Zack, who threw out a bet and was called.

Eslami took another two cards on the second draw and again Zack drew just one. Eslami checked for a second time and called off for his tournament life after Zack pushed enough chips into the middle to put him all in.

Zack stood pat on the final draw and tabled {10-}{8-}{5-}{4-}{2-}. Eslami was drawing but could not find the help he needed to beat Zack's ten. After saying "good game" to the table, Eslami made his way to the payout desk.
