Seidel Among Chipleaders on Day 2 of Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Day 2 of Event #60: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw at the 2023 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas will see 159 players return from a starting field of 548, which created a total prize pool of $731,580. Only 83 of those will make it into the money, securing themselves a minimum of $2,404, but all eyes will be on the top prize of $151,276 along with a WSOP gold bracelet slated to go the eventual winner's way.
A familiar set of names are currently situated in the top three chip counts with tournament regular Michael Trivett leading the way on 401,000. He was able to put some distance between himself and the rest of the field as Hall of Famer and 1988 WSOP Main Event runner-up Erik Seidel is the closest to catching him, sitting on a stack of 259,000. Online and live high stakes crusher Mike Watson rounds out the top three with 208,000.
