Stacked Field Returns for Day 2 of $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Event

George Trigeorgis leads after Day 1
George Trigeorgis leads after Day 1

First introduced in 2016, the $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball event is now making its third appearance on the packed WSOP schedule. This year is different with a single re-entry allowed and many all-round grinders have used it to their benefit, firing twice to try again in the event combining 2-7 Triple Draw, A-5 Triple Draw and Badugi. One such player was Randy Ohel who busted his first bullet to return to the same seat and grind his way up.

Ohel peaked higher than at the 52,700 he eventually bagged but he's still above the virtual average line. Day 1 saw 95 players bag their advancing stacks, from a total of 321 registrations. And what a talented field is left. The heavily stacked lineup offers a tremendous sweat for all the poker aficionados who have been putting up their teams in various fantasy leagues.

Florida's George Trigeorgis may have been flying under the radar so far but now he's eyeing his WSOP breakthrough result, having bagged the lead. Trigeorgis, who has 99,400, is a hair ahead of Dennis Eichhorn (96,800) and Jesse Hampton (92,100). Scrolling down the chip-count page will get you through a nearly endless list of widely accomplished mixed game stars.

Jon Turner had a strong finish last night, also pushing his stack past the 90,000-chip mark. Then there are Brian Hastings, Billy Baxter, Nick Pupillo, Bryce Yockey, Jameson Painter, and last year's runner-up James Obst.

If that wasn't enough there are plenty more names to be added to that list. High stakes crusher Scott Seiver and former Poker Players' Championship winner Ashton Griffin are also on the better side of the leaderboard, followed by John Monnette, Ismael Bojang, Shaun Deeb, Shawn Buchanan, Jerry Wong, Mike Leah, David "ODB" Baker and others.

Undoubtedly an exceptionally tough competition is coming back for Day 2, the day which will see the bubble burst. With 49 places paid, there are still 46 names that won't make it to the money.

It will be a tough quest for the reigning champion Jesse Martin who sits on the third-shortest stack with 9,400, or, in other words, four big bets. Chris Vitch, the inaugural champ from 2016, is also near the bottom with only 12,400.

2-7 Triple Draw

Mike Leah drew two, Dan Shak drew one and Paul Volpe drew two with the latter all in and a small side pot between Leah and Shak. Everyone drew one following that on the final pull. The end went check-check.

"You can take the side pot," Leah declared, showing {8-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{3-} and pushing some chips to Shak.

Shak rolled over a pretty terrible showdown of his own with {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{a-}. However, it was good as Volpe turned over {2-}{3-}{4-}{5-}{4-} for a pair and wished everyone good luck.

Badugi

In the last hand at the previous level, John Hennigan raised first to act and was called by Billy Baxter before Mike Leah three-bet in the cutoff. Action folded back to Hennigan and Baxter, who each called and drew one while Leah stayed pat. Leah kept the lead and draws repeated before action got even heavier.

After the second draw, Leah's bet was called by Hennigan before Baxter raised. Leah called and Hennigan called. Hennigan was the only one to draw and he checked the end. Baxter bet and Leah called. Hennigan came out with a raise. Baxter called.

"I guess I'm going to regret slowplaying this hand," Leah said with a sigh. "Should have three-bet after the second draw."

He called.

"Eight-four?" Hennigan asked hopefully.

"Nope," Leah said, spreading {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. "OK, I'm glad I slowplayed. I was having bad thoughts, John. I just lost with a pat six."

Fantastic Two Levels for Shak

2-7 Triple Draw

The first two levels have seen Dan Shak more than double his stack. Shak came back to 48,100 but now he's sitting on 115,000.

He just added another hefty pot with three-way action caught after the last draw. Gerald Ringe checked and Mike Leah fired a bet. Shak instantly called and Ringe laid his hand down.

Leah turned up a busted {8-}{8-}{X-}{X-}{X-} and Shak claimed the pot with {10-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}.

"You made me break a nine," Shak said to Leah. But it didn't matter eventually as Shak was still able to find a way to win after drawing a worse hand than a nine.

2-7 Triple Draw

Eli Elezra got his last 2,500 in after the second draw against Damjan Radanov, who was leading the betting on early rounds, and Nissen Osterneck on the button. Action checked to Osterneck, who bet, with Elezra calling off his crumbs and Radanov continuing.

Elezra and Radanov drew while Osterneck patted. They checked on the end and Radanov announced a nine, showing {9-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{2-}. Radanov mucked and Elezra slapped {2-}{3-}{4-}{5-} down before sweating his last card.

"You win," he said, showing the {j-Clubs} and heading out.

A-5 Triple Draw

On the final hand of the level, Luis Velador raised and Jaswinder Lally put all his chips in from the big blind. Both drew two but Velador must have drawn far better as he patted the second draw after Lally took two again. Lally needed a final card and Velador opened {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Lally said it didn't matter what he got, and he mucked {8-}{8-}{5-}{3-}{a-}, drawing dead trying to make an eight.

At the next table, defending champ Jesse Martin apparently busted out as well, meaning he and Lally will chop the last min-cash.

With that, hand-for-hand is over and players are on break.

A-5 Triple Draw

One of the best triple draw players there are, Chris Vitch, just showed why he's one of them.

He was in a pot against Joe Wagganer with action after the second draw. Vitch checked, Wagganer bet, and Vitch check-raised. Wagganer wasn't done yet and three-bet. Vitch considered his options and then called.

He stood pat while Wagganer drew one. And then the interesting part started. Vitch led out and Wagganer quickly folded.

"Sixty-four?" Michael Noori guessed Vitch's hand from across the table.

"Something like that," Vitch replied, throwing his {A-}{A-}{2-}{2-}{3-} face up into the middle. His huge bluff for most of his chips worked just perfectly and Vitch is now back to the average stack.

Badugi

Billy Baxter opened for a raise first to act and Joe Wagganer pushed all in. Since they're playing limit poker, Baxter assumed it was a raise to 15,000 and called. When he was informed Wagganer had more behind, he opted to fold instead.

The dealer was dragging the cards in and Baxter reached out.

"Lemme see that hand," he said, turning over {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and getting some chuckles out of his opponents.

"You are gettin' a little squirrelly over there aren't you?" asked Chris Vitch. "If you're gonna do it, that's the hand to do it with."

"I've never done that," Baxter confessed. "But I couldn't in good conscience fold that hand."

"I understand."

A-5 Triple Draw

Mike Leah raised, Frank Muir contemplated his decision for a minute, then called and drew one. Leah took two in position. Leah fired another bet and Muir called right away, drawing one again. Leah stood pat on the second draw.

Leah bet and Muir called once again, leaving himself with just 12,500. He drew one again and Leah almost opened his hand, forgetting that Muir wasn't all in just yet.

Muir checked to him and Leah bet 12,000. Muir weighed his options, then put the 12,000 aside and found he'd be left with 500 if he called and lost. Eventually, he rather stuffed it in completely and Leah called.

Leah had {A-}{2-}{3-}{5-}{8-} and Muir briefly showed a ten-seven before heading to the payouts.

Leah still trails the tournament average but he now has almost nine big bets to maneuver.
