Welcome to Day 2 of Event #28: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw
One day down and two remain in Event #28: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw, and 61 players are still in contention for just a hair under $110,000 and a piece of gold World Series of Poker jewelry.
They've advanced through a field that started at 326, and they're just a couple of tables away from the money as 49 places will be paid. The money bubble should burst fairly early here on Day 2, and we'll likely see a final table reached as well before the chips are placed in the bags once again.
After a 10-level grind on Wednesday, another 10 levels are on tap for Day 2, starting with betting limits of 1,200/2,400 and progressing up to 10,000/20,000 if all goes as planned on the WSOP structure sheet. Each level will be one hour, as usual, and there's a one-hour dinner break scheduled for after Level 16.
When play gets under way at 2 p.m. local time, Mark Roland will be the man to catch with a stack of 116,600. Plenty of hungry, talented players will be coming for the top spot, including Jon "PearlJammer" Turner (75,500), limit crusher Ian Johns (64,400), Rep Porter (56,900), Shaun Deeb (49,000), Rob Mizrachi (38,300), Dzmitry Urbanovich (37,900) and Daniel Negreanu (19,900).
Once the first card is in the air, PokerNews will be bringing all of the live updates right here, so don't go anywhere.

Duhamel in Danger
Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
One of the players who could least afford a slow start today was former WSOP Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel. That's exactly what's happened though, as he's down to just a few bets after he and Timothy Batow (small blind) each took a card on the second draw and checked. They pulled again and Duhamel called a bet on the end, but couldn't beat a nine-seven.
