A record-setting field of 635 entrants has been trimmed to just 113 as Day 2 of Event #63: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw is set to get underway today at 1 p.m. inside the Horseshoe Convention Center.
Leading the returning players is longtime WSOP veteran and bracelet winner Yueqi Zhu, who bagged 395,000 in chips after a strong Day 1 performance. Close behind are Colton Blomberg with 359,000 and two-time bracelet winner Brandon Shack-Harris, who bagged up 350,000.
Day 2 Top 10 Chip Counts
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Bets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yueqi Zhu | China | 395,000 | 33 |
| 2 | Colton Blomberg | United States | 359,000 | 30 |
| 3 | Brandon Shack-Harris | United States | 350,000 | 29 |
| 4 | Raymond Henson | United States | 344,000 | 29 |
| 5 | Michael Wagner | United States | 326,000 | 27 |
| 6 | Alexander Brenneke | United States | 308,000 | 26 |
| 7 | James Tilton | United States | 291,000 | 24 |
| 8 | Peter Neff | United States | 288,000 | 24 |
| 9 | Nathan Gamble | United States | 280,000 | 23 |
| 10 | Jon Turner | United States | 276,000 | 23 |
Other returning players include an elite cast of multiple bracelet winners, including Robert Mizrachi (233,000), Adam Friedman (233,000), Greg Mueller (206,000), Nick Guagenti (135,000), Shaun Deeb (80,000), and Brian Hastings (49,000).
Interestingly, while neither Mizrachi nor Friedman have a bracelet in a 2-7 Lowball variant specifically, they hold five Dealer's Choice bracelets between them — highlighting their skills in mixed games (which includes 2-7 Limit Triple Draw). A win for either player would add a sixth bracelet to their collection.
Also still in the hunt is the defending champion Aaron Cummings, who has a bit of work to do with a below average stack worth 93,000.
A total of 96 players will make the money, which means only 17 players need to bust before the bubble bursts. Everyone still in contention after that point will be guaranteed at least $3,004. The eventual champion will take home $157,172 and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
