[Event 38] $5,000 No Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball (Day 1)

Recap from overnight:

Tue Jul 25 16:23:00 PDT 2006
No Limit 2-7
The No Limit 2-7 Draw event has just begun. This event is a $5,000 re-buy event and promises to feature some of the best in the game.

Tue Jul 25 16:28:00 PDT 2006
"I Caught a Deuey!"
Minh Ly raises to $250 under-the-gun, another player calls, and Mortenson raises to $1,650. Both opponents call and draw one card. Minh Ly turns over 10-9-8-7-2, exclaiming that he broke a straight and caught a "deuey" between bursts of laughter. Players are obviously enjoying today's $5,000 rebuy event.

Tue Jul 25 16:49:00 PDT 2006
Rule Clarifications
Certain players are having a hard time at this year's 2-7 event. One player in particular assumed that the best low possible included the Ace. However, in No Limit 2-7 Single Draw, the best possible hand is 7-5-4-3-2. The Ace is played only high. Also, straights and flushes count against you in this game. So, a player with 7-6-5-4-3 would not be happy with his hand.

Tue Jul 25 16:54:00 PDT 2006
Mike "The Mouth" Matusow Takes A Pot
Jeffrey Lisandro raises to $100 and gets two callers. Mike Matusow re-raises to $1,500 and Lisandro is the only caller. Each player draws one card. Matusow bets $1,500 and Lisandro raises him all-in. Matusow shows a pair of fours and folds his hand.

Pair of Dueces Good

Tue Jul 25 17:22:00 PDT 2006
All-in Before the Draw
Layne Flack raises to $600 in the cutoff and Jeff Lisandro re-raises to $2,000 from the button. Layne moves all-in for $4,000 and Lisandro calls. Flack turns over the A and sends it to the dealer while Lisandro stands pat. Before Flack shows his single card draw, he turns over 7-5-4-2. A three would give Flack the nuts, and any card 10 or under would beat Lisandro's 10-9-8-7-3. Unfortunately for Flack, he pairs his deuce and pulls out a $5,000 Rio chip for the rebuy.

Tue Jul 25 17:40:00 PDT 2006

Chip stacks Riding the Roller-Coaster of Rebuys
It's hard to tell just how many chips each player has, as play has been rather loose during the early stages this afternoon. Scott Fischman and Eric Weiner both think it will begin to slow down in the next level, as blinds will raise to $200-$400 with a $50 ante.
