Poker Superstars and Shooting Stars Vie for Glory on Day 3 of Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw
Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw will reach its captivating conclusion on Day 3, Wednesday at 1 p.m. local time. Only 24 players remain from a record-smashing starting field of 548. Each is guaranteed $5,043 from a prize pool of $731,580, but all their eyes will be focused on the $151,276 in first-place money. Even more so, each will be intent on earning the World Series of Poker bracelet in a game that many in the poker world consider the truest test of poker skill.
Who will claim that prize after all the Day 3 dust has settled in the gladiator pit of the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas? Will Ryan Moriarty surf the wave of momentum that carried him to the Day 2 chip lead and put him over the top after his recent second-place finish in Event #52: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball?
Will WSOP Hall of Famer Erik Seidel use the savvy he has gained in winning two previous no-limit 2-7 titles to join the elite company of Johnny Chan, Phil Ivey, and Doyle Brunson in the ranks of ten-time champions?
Will an owner of multiple pieces of WSOP hardware like Adam Friedman, Brad Ruben, Jason Mercier, or Robert Campbell add another jewel to their crown and legacy?
Can Nick Guagenti, who thundered from the back of the Day 1 pack toward the top on Day 2, earning his first lowball cash, sprint his way all the way to the finish line and earn a second bracelet?
Could Chris Brewer, who finally overcame so many strokes of misfortune to earn his first bracelet in Event #40: $250,000 Super High Roller No-Limit Hold'em earlier this month, ride that surge to a second bracelet in 2023?
Or will it be a seasoned WSOP veteran like Maria Ho, John Holley, Matt Vengrin, or Michael Trivett who captures their first bracelet? Maybe it will be Jon Turner, who has the most WSOP final tables without a bracelet (according to Jon Turner)?
Perhaps a player will emerge from relative unknowns Jonathan Glendinning, Wing Liu, Christopher Leslie, Philip Sternheimer, or Robert Massman to defy the odds and conquer a field of poker superstars and write their own story in this historic event.
No matter what happens on Day 3, if the action is every bit as electric as the atmosphere on Days 1 and 2, you won’t want to miss a moment of it.
Day 3 will begin at 1:00 p.m. local time, with blinds of 10,000/20,000 and 30,000 ante and play down to the eventual winner. Players will get 15-minute breaks every two levels, and a dinner break TBD.
