2008 WSOP Day 24: Lowball action

After a couple days of only one event getting started as others continued play, today brings things back to the usual format at the 2008 World Series of Poker with an event starting at noon and another at 5 p.m.

$2,500 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball will be the first event to get started today. Billed as Event 40, it will be played as a Limit event without any rebuys.

This is the second 2-7 Lowball event on the 2008 WSOP schedule. The first was Event 18, $5,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball w/Rebuys. That event was won by Mike Matusow, who picked up his third bracelet win.

He took down what is so far one of the most star-studded final tables of the series. The six other players at the table who bowed out to Matusow were David Benyamine, Tony G, Tom Schneider, Erick Lindgren, Barry Greenstein and Jeffrey Lisandro.

Perhaps this event will see Matusow trying to win another 2-7 bracelet. You can bet more than a few pros will be buying in to take advantage of a game that's not as popular as Texas Hold'em to try for a bracelet as well.

Other than that, it's a fairly light day of action at the Rio today. Event 38, the $2,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em event that got its start on Friday, will play out its final table later today. Plus Event 39, another $1,5000 No-Limit Hold'em event, will start its second day of play today.
