2-7 Triple Draw Lowball
After picking up a few chips with a near all-in bet in PLO, Brandon Delnano took down back to back pots with a 7-high hand in a three-way pot and another hand 10-high. Delnano has more than doubled his starting stack about 20 minutes into play to get back into the tournament hunt.

One more time, for all the chips. The final six players in Event 12 are back in the ballroom but only two of them will be celebrating in the end. The 8-game mix tournament drew 18 players for a small, but talented field.
There wasn’t a soft spot to be found on any of the tables with Huck Seed, “Miami John” Cernuto, Shirley Rosario, Jared Jaffee, and Nick Kost among the great players to start the tournament but fail to advance into Day 2.
John Racener, 2010 WSOP Main Event runner-up, will kick off the final table with the chiplead but the two players close on his tail have some results of their own.
Steven Wolansky is second in chips and coming off a great summer at the WSOP when he won his first career bracelet along with seven cashes. Robert Campbell won the PLO/8 tournament during the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock Showdown, finished on the final table of the PLO/NLH event this series, and finished 30th this summer in the WSOP Main Event for $230,487.
Stay tuned for live updates from start to finish for this stacked final table.

Level 10: Limits 800/1,600
Playing No Limit Hold’em:
Miami John Cernuto got his last chips in holding A6 offsuit against Stephen Wolansky’s pocket Kings. The board of Q J T 9 J was just a cruel tease and Cernuto hit the rail in 8th place.
Playing Pot Limit Omaha:
On a flop of 7 5 3, Nicholas Kost got his last chips in against John Racener. Nicholas had AA63 and Racener had flopped two pair and a straight draw with 7543. The last two were 6 3 giving Racener the straight. Kost exited in 7th place.
At the end of the level, the final six bagged their chips for the night. They will return at 3pm Monday for Day 2. Play will resume with Level 11, Limits 1,000/2,000. There are six hands of PLO remaining in the 8-game rotation.
November Niner John Racener is the chip leader with over 69,000. He is best-known for his 2nd place finish in the 2010 WSOP Main Event, earning more than $5.5 million.

Level 6: Limits 300/600
With hour-long levels and limit structure, the going is slow in this event. Only three players have been eliminated so far.
One of those was the only woman to enter this event, Shirley Roario. Shirley holds titles in Omaha H/L and HORSE, in addition to No Limit Hold’em. This summer she finished 4th in the WSOP $10,000 Omaha H/L event for over $146,000.
That experience didn’t help her today as she has already reported to the rail. The other two players gone are Paul Dlugozima and Harold Klein.

Level 5: Limits 250/500
Registration has closed with the start of Level 15. There were (unofficially) 18 entrants and the last one in was a late-arriving Huck Seed, the 1996 WSOP Main Event Champion. He’s got more than $7.6 million in reported tournament earnings.
He’s also got a total of four WSOP bracelets, two for Razz and one for PLO, so he’s proven himself in the other games in this mix as well.
