Who Is the Best WSOP No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Player of All Time?
Although one may think otherwise given the number of entries in this event each year, no-limit 2-7 single draw is a big-time favorite amongst poker's elite. This event draws one of the smallest fields in the World Series of Poker each year, but 95% of the players are notables.
With such a prominent group of competitors each year, who is really the best? Many would argue Billy Baxter is the greatest, and with $661,220 in no-limit 2-7 single draw prize money plus five gold bracelets in the game, that claim would be very hard to dispute. Despite his results, though, Baxter isn't the WSOP's leading all-time money earner in the game — that spot is occupied by eight-time gold bracelet winner Erik Seidel. Seidel holds $717,259 in WSOP no-limit 2-7 single draw earnings.
Who else is at the top of the list? Let's take a look.
