Welcome to Day 1 of Event #6: $2,500 Limit Mixed Triple Draw
Six events into the 2019 World Series of Poker, it's time for the first mixed-game bracelet event of the summer: Event #6: $2,500 Limit Mixed Triple Draw.
Badugi, 2-7 triple draw and A-5 triple draw comprise the mix. Each game plays for the lowest hand, with badugi requiring players to aim for 
of different suits, A-5 for a wheel and 2-7 for the lowest cards with straights and flushes counting against.
Players get 15,000 in their starting stacks, with one reentry available and registration open until the start of Level 9 (800/1,600). Levels last an hour apiece with breaks given after every other level. Ten levels are on the docket for Day 1.
Last year, Johannes Becker broke through in this event for his first bracelet, topping a field of 321 — and a final table that included Chris Vitch and Scott Seiver — for $180,455. Becker undoubtedly hopes to be grinding the $50K all day, so it remains to be seen if he'll even attempt to go back-to-back.
Cards are scheduled to fly at 3 p.m. local time here at the Rio, so follow the lowball draw mix right here on PokerNews starting then.
