The draw games typically produce some of the more seasoned fields in the WSOP, and Event #7: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship has been no different. On Monday's Day 2, 56 players took their seats to begin the day, and it was Tuan Le emerging as the top dog after 10 levels of play.

Le is attempting to pull off the nearly impossible feat of winning the same WSOP event two years running — he took down a 120-player field, ultimately beating Justin Bonomo heads up last year to bank $355,324. The total entrants is down slightly this year, but not alarmingly so, and even with these small draw fields, winning two $10,000 events in a row is quite the accomplishment considering how loaded this tournament was.

Only 12 places paid out, with Paul Volpe (12th), Mark Gregorich (11th), Viacheslav Zhukov (10th), Greg Mueller (ninth), and Bruno Fitoussi (eighth) making the cut but missing the final table.

Le, meanwhile, bagged 1.1 million, a monster lead over second-place Calvin Anderson (552,000). Rounding out the final tablists are Maximilian Casal (431,000), Ismael Bojang (404,000), Phil Galfond (355,000), start of day leader Rep Porter (303,000), and James Obst (207,000). They'll be coming back to play for a $322,756 first-place prize, beginning with blinds of 6,000/12,000.

Le could now become the first player since Thang Luu to win the same WSOP event in back-to-back years. Luu conquered the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low event in 2008 and 2009.
