2-7 Triple Draw

Vogelsang has now more reasons to smile as Becker just won another pot against Seiver to pull further ahead.

Seiver drew two on the first draw in a hand of 2-7 Triple Draw and Becker took three. He fired a shell in position and Seiver called before discarding two. Becker drew one and fired again, getting a call again.

Seiver then changed one and Becker stood pat. Seiver checked one more time but finally gave up to Becker's final bet.
