Yuval Bronshtein raised from the button and Alexander Wilkinson three-bet from the small blind. Young Ko called from the big blind and Bronshtein came along.
Wilkinson stood pat while Ko and Bronshtein both took two. Wilkinson led with a bet and both players called.
On the second draw, Wilkinson stayed pat and both Ko and Bronshtein took one. Wilkinson bet again and Ko called for his last 9,000 before Bronshtein three-bet. Wilkinson called the three-bet and it was on to the third draw.
Wilkinson broke his hand and drew one and Ko followed suit before Bronshtein stood pat. Both remaining players checked and the cards were turned up.
Bronshtein tabled 8x7x6x3x2x and Wilkinson tossed his hand in the muck. Ko had 8x5x3x2x/Xx and he peeled 9x to put an end to his tournament.

Daniel Negreanu was marching to his new table with one of the old chairs.
"Don't do it!" Allen Kessler said as Negreanu pulled up to the spot next to him.
"Yes sir!" Negreanu needled as he wheeled the new chair out of the way. "I brought my own chair."
Negreanu gestured to one of the older model chairs that can be found in the Paris Ballroom. The chairs in the Paris Purple section, where this event takes place, are newer model leather chairs that can lean back and be adjusted for height.
"Did they bring those from the Rio?" Kessler asked.
"This is a real chair. I don't need any of that high roller B.S.," Negreanu continued as he unsheathed his phone to get some vlog footage.
Negreanu continued to vlog his opinion on the difference between the two chairs when Kessler came to a final verdict about the leather version.
"I like this chair, to be honest."
Meanwhile, David "ODB" Baker was all in on another table and Young Ko had him at risk. Baker drew one on each draw while Ko took two on the first draw and one on the second before he was pat for the third. Ko turned over Jx8x6x4x3x to take the pot and Baker tossed the losing hand in the muck.

Benny Glaser raised from the button before Farzad Bonyadi three-bet from the small blind and both players traded bets until Glaser was all in for around 20,000.
Bonyadi was pat on all three draws and Glaser took one on the first draw before he stood pat the rest of the way.
"Eight," Glaser said.
"Eight what?" asked Bonyadi as Glaser turned over 8x7x6x4x2x for the #15.
Bonyadi shook his head and flashed the losing hand before he tossed it in the muck. Both of these players have a bracelet in the lower buy-in version of this variation.
Meanwhile, Philip Sternheimer and David Funkhouser have busted at other tables.

Welcome to Day 2 of Event #38: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Of the 45 remaining players, Michael Wagner enters Day 2 as the chip leader after bagging 284,000 in chips last night.
Wagner will have some stiff competition in the pursuit of his first bracelet, however, as just behind him in the counts is five-time WSOP bracelet winner Adam Friedman (279,000) and three-time bracelet winner Ryan Leng (273,000) along with several other poker talents looking to claim a piece of WSOP glory.
Incredibly, Friedman has won a bracelet at the WSOP every year since 2018, (not including 2020 as the World Series of Poker was held online). A win in this event would be his first bracelet in a 2-7 Lowball event and add to his $4 million in career tournament earnings to date.

A ten-minute break will be held after each level and players will get a 60-minute dinner break at the conclusion of Level 14 (~7:30 p.m.)
Late registration will remain open until the start of play today and several more notables are expected to sit down with fresh, albeit short, stacks in hopes of quickly running them up.
