Event 54 at the WSOP 2007 is the $5,000 buyin No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball w/Re-Buys (try saying that ten times whilst chewing a fruit pastille..)

This even is not for the feint hearted! Names like Chad Brown, Chris Ferguson, Erik Seidel, Freddy Deeb, Chip Reese, Gus Hansen, Howard Lederer, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Scotty Nguyen, Johnny Chan, Men Nguyen and Doyle Brunson adorn the tournament list for this tournament and just one of them is enough to make a grown man cry!

One man who is unphased by the big names is big name himself, Irishman Andy Black! He currently sits in 10th place in this tournament with 130K in chips.

Apparently two and a half hours late into the tournament Phil Hellmuth swanned in only to discover he was nearly down to the felt after being blinded off for the duration of his absence. Of course he was livid and let everyone in the vicinity know about it but he calmed down ten minutes later when he doubled up through Don Zewin.
Players are currently on break but we shall keep you updated with Andy’s progress!

06th July: Our Andy bowed out in a respectable fifth place position. We will be watching the action in the main event from here on in.
