The purest form of poker will be on display this afternoon at the 2018 World Series of Poker with Day 1 of Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw. The best and brightest poker players around the world will take to the felt at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino with the action kicking off at 3 p.m. local time.
At the 2017 WSOP, Frank Kassela won this event, denying Bernard Lee his first bracelet. Kassela came from behind to capture his third gold title, topping a field of 266 en route to an $89,151 payday. Kassela joined Ryan D'Angelo, Christian Pham, and Steven Wolansky as champions in the popular event.
This is the event that Pham won after misclicking the registration line and ended up in the wrong event. With no idea how to play 2-7, Pham learned as he went and dusted off a 219-strong field.
Past Results:
| Year | Champion | Entries | Top Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | Frank Kassela | 266 | $89,151 |
| 2016 | Ryan D'Angelo | 279 | $92,338 |
| 2015 | Christian Pham | 219 | $81,314 |
| 2014 | Steven Wolansky | 241 | $89,483 |
Players will start with 7,500 in chips and Day 1 will play ten 60-minute levels. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels and late registration is open for the first eight levels, closing at approximately midnight. The first player to enter a pot must open with a raise.
