Pedro Bromfman had just sat down when his big blind was raised to 1,000 by Shaun Deeb in the small blind. Bromfman bumped it up to 3,300 and Deeb called.
Deeb drew one before Bromfman stood pat. The pair then checked it down and Bromfman's Jx6x4x3x2x won the pot.
On another table, Jared Bleznick took his seat
Shaun Deeb raised to 1,000 from the hijack, David Stamm tried to raise to 1,300, not realizing Deeb already raised, and his bet was not large enough to complete the three-bet, so he was forced to just call.
Both players drew one card and checked after drawing.
Deeb tabled Q♥9♥6♥3♦2♦ and his queen-nine low was good enough to take the pot.
Jonathan Krela raised to 900 in the cutoff and was called by Jason Papastavrou on the button. When it folded to Chance Kornuth in the big blind, he three-bet to 6,500. After debating his decision, Krela elected let his hand go, as did Papastavrou, giving the pot to Kornuth.
Darren Elias in the cutoff and Chris Hundley in the big blind had created a pot of a whopping 24,000 chips when they each drew one card.
Hundley then bet 7,000 chips and got a fold from Elias, after the latter took some thinking time.
Jonathan Krela had raised under the gun four-handed and Chance Kornuth called in the big blind, leading to a pot of roughly 2,000 chips.
Kornuth and Krela both discarded two cards, after which Kornuth bet 800. Krela raised to 4,000 and Kornuth quickly called.
"Nine," Krela announced.
"What nine?" Kornuth asked.
Krela tabled 9x5x4x3x2x for the nine-perfect and raked in the pot.
Meanwhile, Christopher Vitch took his seat as the latest entry.
Action folded to Darren Elias who raised on the button to 1,000, before being three-bet by David Stamm in the small blind. Elias made the call.
Elias chose to draw one, Stamm stayed pat. Stamm then checked to Elias who bet out 6,000. After giving it some thought Stamm let his hand go to give the pot to Elias.

Welcome back to PokerNews, the official media partner of the 2024 World Series of Poker and home of live updates from all bracelet events.
Today sees the start of Event #72: $$10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship here at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This three-day event gets underway at 2 p.m. local time, with late registration open for 12 levels. There will be 15-minute breaks every two levels and no dinner break is scheduled on Day 1. The starting stack is 60,000 chips with the plan for Day 1 to play ten 60-minute levels.
Day 2 starts at 1 p.m. local time Saturday, with players grinding out another 10 levels. Again, 15-minute breaks are planned every two levels, with a Day 2 dinner break after Level 16 (around 7:30 p.m.).
Chris Brewer is the reigning champion of this event. Brewer triumphed over a field of 154, securing $367,599 and his second bracelet (and the second won in 2023).
“I have played a little bit online. I’ve played some big bet mix. I’m super lucky and I have a supportive group of friends. I had Johannes Becker, Scott Seiver, and Dan Zack responding to my questions. Chris Vitch, who was at this final table, talked to me this morning.
"It means so much to me because I think mixed games are kept secret a lot more. It’s more valuable information. I would help them in return, but the information I have to give isn’t as valuable, so it’s so kind that they help me in these spots.”
