Event #56: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball of the 2024 World Series of Poker drew 371 entries to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, a record turnout for this event and generating a prize pool of $825,475.
104 players returned at the start of Day 2, and throughout ten levels of patting and drawing, that number was eventually whittled down to just 15, who will return for Day 3 to decide who will be crowned the champion and take home the bracelet.
Leading the field is Patrick Moulder, who amassed 1,820,000 and will start Day 3 with nearly 23 big bets as a result. Moulder has only been playing in WSOP events since 2022 but has made a solid impression in mixed games this year with a ninth-place finish in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship and an eighth-place finish in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. Looking for his second official final table of the series, he will be aiming to go even deeper and make the golden bracelet his own.
Following Moulder closely is Amir Nematinia with 1,560,000 in chips, while Yuebin Guo rounds out the podium with a stack of 1,530,000. Also finding themself in the top ten at the end of the night were multi-bracelet winners Shaun Deeb (1,270,000), and Chad Eveslage (1,030,000), as well as Day 1 chipleader Ryan Ko.

Among the shorter stacks at the end of the day were bracelet winner Shawn Buchanan (195,000) and Hollywood director Alan Myerson (175,000), who will both have less than three big bets to work with on Day 3.
Day 2 Action
The first goal of the 104 returning players was to reach the money, as a payout would be provided to only the top 56 finishers. The eliminations were taking place with a steady pace throughout the day, and among the early fallen were Hall of Famer Todd Brunson, and $25,000 Fantasy picks Kane Kalas, Aaron Kupin, Brad Ruben, Maxx Coleman and Patrick Leonard.
Closer to the money, Allen Kessler said his goodbyes before Nick Guagenti exited two spots before payments were due. Eventually, Dennis Kim got his final chip in and lost the confrontation, leaving the rest of the field in the money.
Noah Bronstein, Ari Engel and Ilija Savevski were the first to pick up their cash of $5,054, with bracelet winners Amnon Filippi and Julien Martini soon following in their footsteps. Roland Israelashvili extended his WSOP cash record as he picked up a pay jump, as did Motoyoshi Okamura, Frank Brannan, and Anderson Ireland.
Eventually, Mark Fraser was the last person to leave before the three-table redraw, after which Norwegian mixed-game aficionado Jon Kyte departed in 18th place. Mark Roland and Jacob Hamed also barely missed out on Day 3, the latter suffering perhaps the most brutal cooler of the day when he got his chips in with a six-badugi against a better six-badugi.
The 15 remaining players will return to the Horseshoe Event Center at 1 p.m. local time on June 23 to decide who will capture the bracelet and the top prize of $177,045, a significant increase from the $8,861 they have guaranteed themselves thus far.

Badugi
Shaun Deeb opened from the cutoff, folding out all other players except Russell Clayton who had recently been left with just 30,000 and was automatically all in from the big blind.
Deeb drew two for each draw while Clayton drew one for the first two draws and stood pat for the final draw.
Russell Clayton: Q♣J♠7♥4♦
Shaun Deeb: A♣3♠
Deeb was drawing thin against Clayton's Queen-badugi and couldn't catch up when he drew 9♣6♦ for a three-card nine resulting in a full double up for Clayton.
2-7 Triple Draw
Two hands later at the same table, Chad Eveslage opened from the hijack and Russell Clayton three-bet from the button, moving all in for 60,000 in the process. Shaun Deeb called in the big blind and Eveslage called. Deeb and Eveslage each drew two while Clayton stood pat.
After the first draw Deeb checked, Eveslage bet and Deeb folded leaving Clayton at risk against Eveslage, who drew two and then drew one. Clayton stood pat both times.
Eveslage had a seven-six draw but paired his six while Clayton had held up with 9x7x6x4x2x for a pat-nine to score another full double up.

Badugi
Jacob Hamed limped in from the small blind, Patrick Moulder raised, and Hamed called.
Hamed drew two before Moulder stood pat. Hamed then checked, Moulder bet and Hamed raised. Moulder gave it some thought before he called and stood pat after Hamed had done so first.
Hamed bet after the second draw and Moulder flicked in another call. Hamed stood pat and so did Moulder. After the draws, Hamed bet again, but this time Moulder raised.
Hamed three-bet all in and Moulder snap called. Hamed tabled 6♠4♥3♣A♦ for a six-badugi, but Moulder had been dealt an absolute monster as he patted 6♣3♦2♥A♠ for a lower six-badugi from the start.
