2010 WSOP: Peter Gelencser Wins Event #7 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball

2-7 Triple Draw Lowball is an odd game because the objective of the game is to win with the worst possible hands. Having a pair is no good, and Aces, Kings and Queens are to be avoided. The first time Triple Draw Lowball was first introduced in the WSOP was in 2002, and John Juanda was the first winner. In 2003, Men "The Master" Nguyen won it. It was not included as an event between 2004 to 2006, and returned in 2007, and was won by Rafi Amit. John Phan won in 2008, and Phil Ivey won it in 2009.

For the 2010 World Series of Poker, it is only the sixth time that a Triple Draw Lowball event was played, and the big winner was none other than Peter Gelencser of Budapest, Hungary, who outlasted 291 players to win the coveted WSOP bracelet and a first place cash prize of $180K.

Raphael Zimmerman was the runner-up, and won 110K. Don McNamara came in thrid to earn $73K. David Chiu was the chip leader entering the final table, but busted out at 4th place to win $50K. The $34K for fifth spot went to Jameson Painter while $24K went to Leonard Martin for finishing sixth.
