Strelitz Makes a "Scared" Call, Then Doubles
2-7 Triple Draw
Daniel Strelitz and John Monnette went heads up to the first draw and both took two. Strelitz bet and Monnette called.
Strelitz took one more on the second draw, while Monnette again took two and called. Both players took one on the third draw.
Strelitz checked this time and Monnette put out a bet. "This is a scared call. I don't really want to with my stack," Strelitz said as he put the chips in. Monnette showed him 7-6-5-4-2 to win the pot.
A few hands later, Strelitz would get those chips back in a hand of A-5 Triple Draw.
On the second draw, he bet and Monnette called. Frank Kassela then raised and Strelitz went all in for his last 10,000. Monnette folded.
Both players stood pat and Kassela announced an eight.
"Wheel,' Strelitz said, turning over 5-4-3-2-A.
"Hard to beat a wheel," Kassela joked while handing over the double up.
