In 2009, Nick Schulman won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship. Three years later, he won it again for his second one. Over the next 12 years, four more bracelets followed, and today, at the 2025 World Series of Poker, Schulman can capture number seven in the same event as his first two, adding $497,356 to his eight-figure lifetime earnings.
Schulman is one of only six players out of the field of 233 entries, who created a prize pool of $2,166,900, returning to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas for the final day of Event #30: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship. Third in chips, Schulman will return with an above-average stack of 2,670,000, approximately 33 big blinds. The chiplead, meanwhile, is in the hands of Darren Elias, who will try to use his 3,475,000 chips to close out a victory in this No-Limit 2-7 Championship after having finished third in 2019 and 2017.
Second in chips with 2,910,000 is the only European player at the table, Swede Oscar Johansson. Like Elias, Johnasson is still chasing his first bracelet, having two runner-up finishes on his resume. Chad Eveslage and Ben Yu have also made the final day, looking to add to their multi-bracelet collection. The absolute short stack is Dan Smith, who will have to spin up his stack of 905,000 to remain in contention for his second bracelet.

With $83,179 locked up for the final six, six-figure payouts will commence once the first elimination of the day has taken place. The pay jumps will increase with every spot, until eventually the winner walks away with nearly half a million dollars.
