Chad Eveslage raised to 7,500 in the small blind and Dan Shak called in the big blind.
Both players drew one. Eveslage then bet 12,000, and Shak called.
"Tens," Eveslage announced, and Shak showed Ax10x6x4x3x to win the pot.
The 58 returning players have been joined by five new arrivals, and action on Day 2 is underway.
Level: 11
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 4,500
Carlo van Ravenswoud has a tenuous hold on the chip lead, but an elite field is lurking right behind him trying to track him down when Day 2 of Event #17: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship begins at 1 p.m. local time.
The Dutch pro takes 319,000 into the event’s penultimate day, but right behind him are some of the biggest names in the game. They include Daniel Negreanu and Chad Eveslage, both with 311,000 and tied for second place. Alex Foxen (299,000) and Paul Volpe (290,500), meanwhile, round out the top five.

A total of 58 players out of 136 entries begin the day, but that number should grow significantly. Late registration remains open for the first level of the day, with each player allowed two reentries. The action picks up on Level 11 with blinds of 1,500/3,000 and a 4,500 ante.
Levels remain 60 minutes, with a break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break following Level 15. Levels will then be extended to 90 minutes for the start of Level 16. The schedule calls for eight levels to be played today or down to the final five players.
