Event #38: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship Dia 1 | 2022 World Series of Poker

Day 1 Of Event #38: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship Concludes

Nível 10 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Day 1 of Event #38: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship has come to an end after ten 60-minute levels. The event saw 110 entrants, having started the day with just 5 players. With registration open until Day 2 starts, it will almost certainly beat the field total drawn to the same event last year. Players who have played one bullet can fire once again, as one re-entry is available.

Talking of which, reigning champion Farzad Bonyadi is alive and kicking. The man of Iranian origin netted $297,051 for his win last year and is looking to go back-to-back. He's amongst the bigger stacks of the room after getting high on the chip counts early and cruising. Fan-favorite Andre Templeman had a swingy day after he self-proclaimed that he had learnt the game just earlier today.

When the action closed, it is believed that Mark Johns is the chipleader with 424,500 chips.

Others bagging up pretty stacks for the next day, include Phil Hellmuth (197,500), who joined late and surged up the leaderboard, Scott Seiver (226,000), Alex Livingston (320,000), Bradley Anderson (233,000), Darren Elias (267,500) and Jeremy Ausmus (262,500).

Shaun Deeb, sporting his sparkly black hat, fired two bullets to no avail. The same fate was unfortunately bestowed upon Ben Lamb, Matthew Gonzales and Dan Smith.
