Drawmaha Festival About to Begin
The Drawmaha Festival is a new addition to the Coolbet Open. The €220 Drawmaha Championship is about to begin. Players from Sweden, Norway, and all around Europe have been anxiously waiting to compete in what they refer to as Sviten Special.
Drawmaha or Sviten Special is a unique game with tons of action as it combines both five-card pot-limit Omaha and five-card draw in the same hand.
Players are dealt five cards and there is a round of betting. A flop is a dealt and another round of betting takes place. Any players remaining in the hand at this point can draw zero to five cards. If one card is requested it is face-up for everyone to see. The player has a choice whether to keep it or request a new card face down. Otherwise, all exchanged cards are face down.
A turn is dealt followed by a round of betting before the final bets take place after the river is dealt. Half the pot is awarded to the best five card draw hand while the other half of the pot is awarded to the best five-card Omaha hand.
