Christian Pham Wins Event #23 - $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Draw

" Minnesota Poker Pro Accidentally Signs Up for the Wrong Tournament, Wins Gold Bracelet Three Days Later

Former Champions Huck Seed, Robert Mizrachi, Frank Kassela No Match for 2-7 Rookie "

he had never played 2-7 Draw when he sat down for the first hand.....


from the tournament summary

"Three days earlier here at the 2015 World Series of Poker, Pham stepped up to the registration window at the Rio in Las Vegas and plucked down $1,500 in cash, thinking he was registering for the next day’s No-Limit Hold’em tournament. Unfortunately – or fortunately, as things turned out – he had the wrong event number in mind. Pham was placed into the No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Lowball Draw tournament, a game he’d never played before.

Unaware of the error, Pham took his seat at the beginning of the tournament and then watched in horror as cards were dealt out in a different way than he was expecting. Pham had no idea what was going on, or what to do.

“They had started dealing already, so I couldn’t do anything,” Pham explained later. “If they had not started dealing, I would have told the floorman and asked to be unregistered.”

Faced with no other alternative, Pham sat and watched. He folded most of his hands early on as he picked up more information about good starting hands and how to play. Pham proved to be a prodigal student. He paid attention to the finer details and nearly 12 hours after sitting down at a table and playing a poker game he’d never seen before, Pham ended the first day as chip leader.

“I’d played lots of poker before, but not this game,” Pham said. “I guess I learned fast.”
Indeed, he did. "
