It was 2016 when the World Series of Poker was introduced to $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball, and the event was won by Christopher Vitch. He took home $136,854 and his first WSOP bracelet after beating out a field of 236. Now in 2025, the entries for Event #56: Mixed Triple Draw Lowball have nearly doubled as 463 came out to play this year’s variant to build a sizable prize pool of $1,030,175. Only 70 players will be able to see any piece of that tomorrow, and today’s survivors tallied up to 133.
Leading the way at the end of Day 1 at Horeshoe and Paris, Las Vegas is two-time WSOP bracelet winner David Prociak, who bagged a sizable lead of 370,000. Just one year out from winning his second bracelet in the $1,500 Badugi, Prociak has been a regular at the WSOP for nearly ten years. A member of the 25K Fantasy team "Team Dinkers," Prociak spent the entire day hovering towards the top of the chip counts. A late-night surge boosted him to the uncontested top spot, and now he looks for another draw bracelet to add to his collection.
Day 1 Top Ten Chip Counts
| Place | Player | Country | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | David Prociak | United States | 370,000 |
| 2 | Mark Klecan | Canada | 295,000 |
| 3 | Greg Mueller | United States | 293,000 |
| 4 | Nam Le | United States | 260,000 |
| 5 | Schuyler Thornton | United States | 238,000 |
| 6 | Takuro Matsumoto | Japan | 230,000 |

| 9 | Jampana Appalaraju | United States | 225,000 |
| 10 | Renan Bruschi | Brazil | 221,000 |
Rounding out the podium are Mark Klecan (295,000) and three-time WSOP bracelet winner Greg Mueller (293,000). Defending champion Patrick Moulder (35,500) is still in the hunt to claim another WSOP bracelet. Others that survived included former champion Christopher Vitch (228,000), Renan Bruschi (221,000), Benny Glaser (197,000), Yuval Bronshtein (171,000), and current player of the year front runner Scott Bohlman (141,000). They are among the many characters in the star-studded cast of players.
Not all were able to advance to the following day. Seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu was unable to secure another deep run, and he joined the rail with players like Brad Owen, Christopher Chung, Gina Hecht, Shirley Rosario, Nick Schulman, Ryan Hoenig, and 17-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. Their race to get bracelets will have to be run in another event later in this series.
Players today bagged up after playing 12 levels. They will return to the Horseshoe tomorrow at 1 p.m. to play another ten levels, with action beginning on Level 13. Blinds will begin at 2,000/4,000 with 4,000/8,000 limits and levels lasting one hour each.
Be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for all of the exciting updates.
