$10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship Set to Kick Off!
Welcome to PokerNews' Day 10 coverage of 2011 World Series of Poker!
Today marks the start of Event #16, the $10,000 No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Draw Lowball Championship. This event usually has the smallest number of entrants of any WSOP event and you know what that means...a pro-heavy field that is eager for the coveted WSOP gold bracelet. Last year, David "Bakes" Baker topped an elite field of 101 to capture his first WSOP bracelet and we expect he'll be back to defend his title.
He earned $294,314 for his victory and defeated a final table that included Eric Cloutier, George Danzer, John Juanda, Doug Booth, Erik Seidel and Eric Kesselman. Daniel Negreanu also made a deep run, bubbling the final table of seven.
Play begins at 5 p.m. local time, a bit less than two hours from now, so be sure to keep it here for of the exciting action as it unfolds!
