Negreanu Takes an Early One from Mizrachi

Bronshtein Looks to Repeat Event #31: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Win
Today marks the penultimate day of Event #31: $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw, with 84 players returning out of 272 total entries, to the Rio Hotel and Casino to battle it out for their shot at WSOP glory.
The remaining participants will return and play down to five players. There will be a 15-minute break after each level, and a 60-minute dinner break after level 21 (approx. 8:45 p.m. PT).
Looking to repeat his first-place finish in this very same event from 2019 is Israeli poker professional Yuval Bronshtein (120,300).
Bronshtein, who took down Event #12: $1,500 Limit Hold'em, is firmly in the running to become the second player this year to win two bracelets. Can the professional poker player replicate Anthony Zinno's excellent start to this year's WSOP?
The talented Bronshtein, who is currently 7th on the all-time money list in Israel with over $1.7 million, will be a factor in this and every tournament he decides to participate in this year's series.
Leading the way going into Day 2 is none other than poker pro Ali Imsirovic (257,300). The Bosnian professional will look to add to his already amazing 2021 run. Phil Hellmuth (79,400) and Daniel Negreanu (64,900) are also still alive and will be hoping to add to their impressive bracelet collections respectively.
Please join us here at PokerNews for live updates of this event, as well as all WSOP Events, or live here at The Rio Hotel and Casino in the Amazon Room at 2:00 p.m. local time.
