: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,500 ante
Poker vlogger and bracelet winner Ryan Depaulo has entered the $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw every year since 2022, and has managed to cash every time, even getting a higher placement every iteration.
He just sat down for his first tournament of the 2025 WSOP and raised to 3,000 in the hijack. John Holley then three-bet to 11,000 in the cutoff, leaving only a few chips behind, and called off once Depaulo put him all-in.
Depaulo drew one, and Holley stood pat in response.
John Holley: 10x8x6x5x2x
Ryan Depaulo: 7x6x4x3x
Depualo drew an 8x to make a better hand, sending Holley to the rail on his quest for his fourth cash in a row.

Anthony Lamps opened to 2,500 from the hijack and Iman Alsaden defended from the big blind. Both players drew one.
After the draw Alsaden checked, Lamps bet 5,000 and Alsaden called. Alsaden turned over QxJx8x6x2x and Lamps mucked his hand.

Patrick Moulder opened the action to 2,500, and David Funkhouser called. Marcel Vonk then jammed all in for roughly 15,000, folding out Moulder.
Funkhouser snapped it off, however, and both players drew one card.
Marcel Vonk: 8x7x5x2x
David Funkhouser: 8x6x3x2x
Funkhouser had Vonk drawing dead after he peeled a 4x, rendering Vonk's Qx meaningless as the Dutchman headed to the exit.

Scott Seiver raised to 2,000 under the gun, being looked up by Michael Rodrigues in the hijack and Robert Gussoni on the button.
After each player had drawn one card, Seiver fired an over-bet of 12,000 in the middle. Rodrigues called, prompting Gussoni to lay down his hand.
Seiver instantly threw his cards into the muck, and Rodrigues won the pot without a showdown.

Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 1,200 ante
Tal Avivi, who recounted the early action for this hand, opened from under the gun. Scott Seiver called from the cutoff and Leonardo Rizzo shoved, covering both players by a wide margin. Avivi called with his stack of roughly 20,000 and Seiver, who had started the hand with just over 40,000, also called and was at risk. Avivi stood pat while Seiver and Rizzo each took one.
Tal Avivi: Jx10x9x7x5x
Scott Seiver: 9x7x6x2x
Leonardo Rizzo: 7x5x4x3x
Seiver was drawing to a nine, but made a pair after catching 7x. Rizzo was drawing to a wheel but caught Kx. Avivi's pat jack-ten was still good at showdown and he tripled up, while Rizzo was good for the side pot with a king-low. Seiver was eliminated but immediately rebought and drew the same table.
Seiver shoved from under the gun for 25,000 the next hand and Chance Kornuth, seated directly to his left, called off with his stack of roughly 18,000. Seiver drew one while Kornuth stood pat.
Chance Kornuth: Jx7x6x4x3x
Scott Seiver: 10x5x4x3x
Seiver was drawing to a ten-low but drew Kx. Kornuth's pat-jack was good at showdown and he doubled up while Seiver was left with just 7,000. One hand later, Seiver got his last chips in against Avivi, who drew one while Seiver drew two.
Scott Seiver: 7x6x2x
Tal Avivi: 9x7x6x2x
Avivi drew a queen while Seiver picked up 6x2x to make two pair, resulting in his second elimination over the span of three hands. Seiver rebought again, and although Kornuth was calling for him to get put on Table 292 for a third time, Seiver finally was moved to another table for his third bullet.
