WSOP: 2-to-7 attracts leading playersPVT
LAS VEGAS -- Deuce to seven draw low ball is one of the tougher games players can take on in the World Series of Poker. Which is why only the best professionals in the world face up to the challenge and pay the $5,000 buy-in. At the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino here, only 85 players entered the tournament that started Monday. There were 272 rebuys among those players, but still, only 39 remained when the tournament resumed Tuesday afternoon. But what a list of survivors. Tom Dwan, a noted internet player, was the chip leader with $238,900. His pursuers included Mike Matusow, Chris Ferguson, David Benyamine, Phil Ivey, Jeffrey Lisandro, Chad Brown, Michael Mizrachi, Erick Lindgren, David Grey, Eli Elezra, Carlos Mortensen, Howard Lederer, Barry Greenstein, Todd Brunson, Layne Flack and Tony G. Guoga. The $1,000 buy-in women's championship final table began Tuesday, with Svetlana Gromankova of New York the chip leader at $553,000. Also ongoing: the $2,000 Omaha High-Low Split tournament, with 18 players left, including Scott Clements, Ted Forrest and Ralph Perry. The big winner so far this week is Duncan Bell, who earned $666,777 for winning a $2,500 no-limit tournament that attracted 1,397 players and generated a prize pool of $3,213,100. Phillip Tom won the no-limit hold'em shootout that had a $5,000 buy-in and drew 360 players. Starting today: * $3,000 (plus add-ons) H.O.R.S.E. noon; * $5,000 no-limit hold'em 5 p.m. The WSOP Heads-Up Championship begins at 5 p.m. Friday, with a $10,000 buy-in. Seven-card Razz starts at noon Friday, with a $1,500 buy-in.
