30 Players Remain in Contention for Day 2

zedmaster84

Day 2 of the Event #22: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship will get underway at 2 p.m. local time at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. There are 30 players out of a 92-entry strong field still in contention, with each one wanting to get one step closer to claiming one of the elusive golden bracelets at the 2017 World Series of Poker.

Jon Turner (367,300) and Mike Leah (361,500) dominated the late stages of Day 1 and bagged up the biggest stacks while two-time WSOP bracelet winner John Monnette follows in third position overnight with 265,400.

Monnette is closely followed by multiple-bracelet winners Robert Mizrachi (255,000), Shaun Deeb (230,700) and Phil Galfond (223,100) who are also in the top 10 heading Day 2. Furthermore, in addition to Galfond who won this event in 2015, three other former champions of the $10K NL 2-7 Draw Championship made it through last night: Nick Schulman (186,000), Jesse Martin (105,900) and Paul Volpe (97,700).

More than half of the remaining field will leave empty-handed, as only the top 14 spots are guaranteed a share of the $864,800 prize pool. The minimum cash is worth $15,333, while a first-place finish comes with a payday of $256,610 and the golden bracelet. Defending champion Jason Mercier entered twice yesterday and was eliminated as many times.
