Yesterday at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, 626 hopefuls tried their luck in Event #12: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw. The tournament has seen increasing interest in recent years, with this year's edition surpassing last year's total of 532. These players created a total prize pool of $831,015, set to be paid out to the final 94 survivors, with the winner to receive $155,819.

96 players return today at 1 p.m. in the Paris Yellow section to resume play on the bubble, two away from the money. Leading the way into the second day is Andrew Park who accumulated an impressive 765,000 on Day 1. Park is coming off a strong 2025 season in which he finished 3rd in the $1,500 Dealers Choice for $66,755 as he positions himself for another deep run.

He is joined atop the leaderboard by mixed game regulars Brian Breck (638,000), Jorge Ufano (590,000), and Jerry Wong (470,000).
