Johannes Becker Leads the Remaining 32 Players into Day 2
Welcome to Day 2 coverage of Event #49: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship.
The starting field of 92 players is down to just 32, although those numbers should pick up a bit as registration remains open until the cards go in the air at 2 p.m. Prize pool and payout information will be available shortly thereafter.
On top of the counts heading into Day 2 is bracelet winner Johannes Becker, comfortably in the lead with 526,500. Rounding out the top five are mixed game specialist Benny Glaser (396,500), British poker professional Luke Schwartz (321,500), Mark Gregorich (275,000) and Daniel Ospina (258,500), who came second in the $10k H.O.R.S.E. Championship just 10 days ago for $262,882.
A plethora of big names remain in the mix as you can see below.
