Why This Event Matters
The $1,500 2-7 Triple Draw is a key event for mixed-game players looking to showcase their skills in a specialist format.

Past Champions & Notable Winners
In 2025, Aaron Cummings made it back-to-back victories in this event, a rare achievement at the WSOP. He topped a field of 635 entries to claim his second consecutive title and $151,172, showing consistency in a format where edges are often small.
Cummings entered the final day seventh in chips, just ten eliminations away from making WSOP history. Despite the pressure, he stayed focused on playing each hand rather than the milestone itself. Reflecting on his run, Cummings said:
"I definitely thought about [going back-to-back]... But it's still a long battle to get there. I was a little short coming into the day, so I knew it was going to be tough. But obviously there's a chance."
Other recent champions include John Monnette (2023), Denis Nesterenko (2022), and David “Bakes” Baker (2021), demonstrating why this is a favorite among experienced mixed-game players.
