Event #7: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball Starts Today at 3
We're rounding the corner on the first full week of the 2017 World Series of Poker and the $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball is the next event up. The Mixed Triple Draw Lowball tournament is a mix of ace-to-five triple draw, deuce-to-seven triple draw, and badugi.
Christopher Vitch won this event last year to take home his first WSOP gold bracelet and $136,854. Vitch is likely to be in the field today to defend his title, but is sure to have some stiff competition as going back-to-back in any WSOP event is quite difficult.
The tournament starts at 3 p.m. local time and players will play 10 one-hour levels before bagging for Day 2. Late registration is open until the start of level nine, which will be roughly around midnight. Last year, this event drew 236 players, but was later in the schedule.
