I Like These Cards Just Fine, Thanks

In his first hand upon sitting down, Doyle Brunson ended up getting involved right away.

After some betting before the first draw, Brunson, Alex Jacob, and one other player remained. Brunson stood pat, and the other two each drew one. Brunson bet 150, and both called.

Brunson also stood pat on the second draw, and the others again each took one. Brunson bet again -- 300, this time -- and both again called.

Brunson stood pat on the third draw, too, and both of his opponents again each took one card. Again Brunson bet, Jacob folded, and the other called.

Brunson showed 7-6-4-3-2, the second-best possible hand, and took the pot.
