Peter Gelencser wins Event#7 - Deuce-to-Seven Lowball

The biggest poker tournament of Deuce-to-Seven Lowball in the history of poker was won by Peter Gelencser. He, at the same time, grabbed a coveted WSOP bracelet. Gelencser is a professional poker player from Budapest, Hungary. Winning first place means a total profit of $ 180,730 for him. Gelencser is the second winner of a WSOP bracelet from Hungary, after Peter Traply’s victory in the $ 5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout last year.

Deuce-to-Seven Lowball is a fairly strange game. In Lowball, the aim is to build the worst possible hand. Aces, kings, queens and pairs are the worst that can happen to you in Lowball.

Triple Draw Lowball was introduced in 2002 at the WSOP. John Juanda was the inaugural winner. The following year Men "The Master" Nguyen won the event. From 2004-2006 Lowball was not part of the program of the World Series, before it returned with a $ 1,000 buy-in in 2007. So this is only the sixth Triple-Draw Lowball event ever at the WSOP.

The variant of Lowball is played rarely, except at the highest levels. Usually you won’t find the game in a public poker room - either as a cash game or tournament. In fact, the WSOP is one of the few places where Lowball is offered.

Among those who cashed in at the event, are former bracelet winners Pat Poels, Ted Forrest, Eli Elezra Greg Mueller, Hoyt Corkins, and David Singer.

Second place went to Raphael Zimmerman was from Missoula, MT.
