One day down and two remain in Event #28: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw, and 61 players are still in contention for just a hair under $110,000 and a piece of gold World Series of Poker jewelry.

After a 10-level grind on Wednesday, another 10 levels are on tap for Day 2, starting with betting limits of 1,200/2,400 and progressing up to 10,000/20,000 if all goes as planned on the WSOP structure sheet. Each level will be one hour, as usual, and there's a one-hour dinner break scheduled for after Level 16.
When play gets under way at 2 p.m. local time, Mark Roland will be the man to catch with a stack of 116,600. Plenty of hungry, talented players will be coming for the top spot, including Jon "PearlJammer" Turner (75,500), limit crusher Ian Johns (64,400), Rep Porter (56,900), Shaun Deeb (49,000), Rob Mizrachi (38,300), Dzmitry Urbanovich (37,900) and Daniel Negreanu (19,900).
Once the first card is in the air, PokerNews will be bringing all of the live updates right here, so don't go anywhere.
