After 10 hours of play, Day 2 of Event #22: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw is in the books. From 157 players who started the day, just 13 advanced to Day 3.

Leading the way is Yuichi Kanai with 1,825,000. The remaining players are vying for their share of the $766,290 prize pool and the eventual first-place prize of $146,516. The final 87 players were guaranteed at least the min-cash of $3,000.

Two of the players advancing to Day 3 are already bracelet holders: Danny Wong and Ilija Savevski. Fellow bracelet winner Amnon Filippi narrowly missed out on Day 3 action when he busted on the last hand of the night.

The Day’s Action

At the start of the day, the field size dwindled quickly, with 157 becoming 104 after just two hours of play. However, action slowed down considerably as the bubble approached.

Hand-for-hand lasted over 10 hands. Eventually, it was Alejandro Burzaco who burst the bubble after being forced all-in from the big blind and failing to improve against the jack of Don McNamara.

Accomplished mixed game regular Naoya Kihara survived the bubble with a single 1,000 chip, and was forced all in from the big blind the very next hand, but not before he secured the min-cash of $3,000.

2019 WSOP Dealer of the Year Heather Alcorn was impressive throughout and steadily built her stack as she found a Day 3 bag with 1,325,000.

The returning 13 players will resume at 1 p.m. on June 8 in the Horseshoe Event Center. Action begins in Level 26 with blinds at 20,000/40,000 and limits at 40,000/80,000. Play will continue until a winner has been crowned and a bracelet has been awarded.
