Adam Owen Leads 26 Players Into Day 2 of Event #34: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship
Nível 10
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
English professional poker player Adam Owen bagged the chip lead after Day 1 of the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship. The initial 80-player field was reduced to 26 remaining hopefuls during the first ten levels of the tournament. The $752,000 prize pool will be divided between the top 12 finishers with $232,738 reserved for the champ.
Owen, 24, specializes in mixed games. He is yet to win a bracelet but he's an accomplished player with many online accolades. Owen is no stranger in WSOP fields. He has four top 10 finishes to his name. He came close to winning the jewelry back in 2015 when he took $104,914 after finishing third to Phil Hellmuth and Mike Gorodinsky in the $10,000 Razz Championship. That prize remains Owen's biggest WSOP cash to date, but his career-best payday came in the EPT13 Barcelona Main Event where he notched another third-place finish, worth €646,250.
Owen tangled in several pots against fresh WSOP bracelet winner James Obst today. Obst himself will come back for Day 2 with a solid 227,000, good for sixth place among the remaining players.
Those who sneaked between Owen and Obst in the chip counts were Robert Campbell (291,000), [Removed:412] (264,500), Mike Watson (261,500) and the $1,500 8-Game runner-up Mike Ross (248,000).
Notable faces among the remaining field include David Benyamine (223,500), Anthony Zinno (204,000), Shaun Deeb (117,000) and Mike Matusow, who bounced back from a short stack. Matusow will continue with 90,500 while Todd Brunson (31,000) and JC Tran (17,500) close the rankings.
Day 1 saw many players depart as heavyweights such as Daniel Negreanu, Mike Gorodinsky, Paul Volpe and John Monnette failed to qualify for the next stage of the tournament.
Event #34 will resume Sunday at 2 p.m. and PokerNews reporters will be at the tables to bring you live coverage from Day 2.

Watson Ships Some to Yu
Nível 10
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Mike Watson has been flying under the reporters' radar today, but he's now one of the biggest stacks in the tournament. Watson conceded some of his chips a few moments ago, but the Canadian poker superstar is still grinding a more than healthy stack worth 317,500.
Watson lost a few of his possessions in a contest against Ben Yu. Watson raised from the first position and Yu countered, three-betting from the big blind. Watson called and they both drew one on the first draw.
Yu continued betting, and Watson stuck around. Yu then patted while Watson continued drawing one.
Yu bet out again, and Watson called to draw for one again. The remaining round went check-check. Yu exposed his 
and Watson couldn't beat the nine.

Berman Strikes Back Against Obst
Nível 10
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Lyle Berman and James Obst have been going back and forth for most of the day since Berman moved to Obst's table, with Obst getting the best of it whenever we happen to catch a hand, but Berman finally took one off Obst in a more recent pot.
We caught the action after the round of betting, with close to 20,000 in the middle of the table. Berman took two, Adam Owen took two, and Obst took two as well. Berman and Owen both checked before Obst bet. Berman raised, making it two bets. Owen folded, but Obst called.
On the second draw both players took one. Berman bet and Obst called.
Both Obst and Berman stood pat on the last draw. Berman bet again, and Obst called once more. Berman showed for an eighty-six, and that was good to take down the pot for Berman.

: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
David Benyamine was in the cutoff, entering a hand with a raise. Ismael Bojang, directly to Benyamine's left, three-bet and Benyamine called to continue for drawing.
Benyamine took two while Bojang drew one. Benyamine check-called and the same procedure repeated on the second draw as Benyamine changed two again and Bojang discarded one. The betting round also remained the same as Benyamine check-called again.
Both players drew one in the last round, and Benyamine then check-called yet again only to see Bojang's .
Benyamine is still handling a promising 230,000 while Bojang climbed back to 117,000 after winning with his eighty-six.
