Former Main Event Champ Raymer Leads Event #33
After one day of play, 123 of 388 entrants survived in Event #33: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball, and at the top of the counts sits a name recognizable to even those only vaguely familiar with the poker world: 2004 Main Event champ Greg Raymer. “Fossilman” bagged 71,400 at night's end.
Other notable players to make it through included second-place Sergey Rybachenko (62,700), Brian Yoon (55,300), Jon “PearlJammer” Turner (49,200), Brian Hastings (49,100), Allen Cunningham (41,000), Vanessa Selbst (38,200), Todd Brunson (35,800), and Phil Galfond (22,400).
Defending champ Todd Bui, Marco Johnson, Shaun Deeb, and Chris Tryba were among the players failing to make it through.
Play resumes at 2 p.m. on Tuesday with another 10-level grind, beginning at limits of 800/1,600.
