It folded to Laura Born in the small blind, who raised to 8,000. Phil Hellmuth sat in the big blind and made it 20,000 to go, which Born swiftly called. Born drew one card before Hellmuth elected to stay pat.
Born checked over to Hellmuth, who gave a bit of a speech before he checked back. Born had paired up with 8x7x4x3x3x, leaving the pot to Hellmuth's 10x7x4x3x2x.
Barry Greenstein raised to 7,000 in the hijack, and Steve Zolotow defended his big blind. Zolotow drew two cards while Greenstein kept the cards he had.
Greenstein dropped in 15,000 chips after the draw, and a quick check-fold followed from Zolotow.
Greenstein won the first of his three bracelets in no-limit 2-7 lowball draw back in 2004, and, 21 years later, the Hall of Famer is currently looking to capture his first piece of WSOP jewelry since 2008.
James Chen opened from the button and Justin Gardenhire three-bet shoved for 15,500 from the small blind. Doug Lorgeree four-bet to 45,000 from the big blind and Chen shoved for 114,000 leaving a single T-500 chip behind. Lorgeree, who had Chen slightly covered, went into the tank for a couple minutes before moving all in. Chen called and was at risk.
Gardenhire drew one, Lorgeree stood pat, and Chen drew one.
Justin Gardenhire: 7x6x5x2x 
James Chen: 9x7x5x4x
Doug Lorgeree: 10x5x4x3x2x
Lorgeree had ten-perfect while Chen was drawing to a nine and Gardenhire was drawing to a seven. Gardenhire bricked after catching another 6x but Chen caught a 3x to complete his draw, sending Gardenhire to the rail and earning a full double up while Lorgeree was left with just two big blinds.
Adam Owen opened to 7,5000 in the hijack and snap-called when Tyler Brown put in his stack of 32,000 from the cutoff. Owen drew one card, and so did Brown.
Tyler Brown: 9x8x6x2x
Adam Owen: 9x5x4x2x
Owen had the better draw, and he made the better hand as well when he drew a Qx against Brown's Kx.
