This event will decide who is the best at flinging poo.

Limit hold them poo flingers will have nothing on these guys.

QFT.

I can't wrap my head around what kind of degen sicko would play this event.

What makes this an event for degens? Is this a high variance game?

1)It's 5 card draw (one draw) NL, worst hand wins. Straights and flushs count against you, and aces are always high. 2-3-4-5-7 is the best hand
2)It's a rebuy event, so even higher var.

May be getting leveled, but this might be the highest variance poker game ever invented.

Chris Fargis describes limit triple draw as a carnival game, I have never played NL single draw but I imagine it is sickening.

"The Last Preliminary Event

This event should be a lot of fun. An elite field will assemble today at Noon for the $5,000 Deuce to Seven triple draw (with rebuys) event. This is a great format, and the players should be prepared to gamble. We'll see you at Noon to kick things off."


Pokernews says its triple draw. The WSOP site justs says World Championship No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball w/Re-Buys

[Jack Bando]

PNews says it's 1 draw (now) 3 Draw NL would last half a day.

It´s single draw NL. Greenstein won that event in ´04, was a fun table to see. Obv with espn it was highly edited but Barry, Jesus, Lederer, Zolotow, Chau and Lyle Berman at the same table sure made for a fun watch.
