2-7 Triple Draw

David "Bakes" Baker raised from the cutoff seat and Sorel Mizzi reraised from the button. Baker made the call and the two went to the "pitch," which, according to Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck, is the name for the first draw. She claims that her and Baker came up with these terms while he was teaching her deuce-to-seven. Baker drew three and Mizzi drew one. After the pitch, Baker check-called a bet from Mizzi.

For the next draw, it's called the "chuck." Baker drew one and Mizzi drew one. Baker then bet and Mizzi raised. Baker called.

On the final draw, or better known as the "dump" as Maridu called it, both players stood pat. Baker then check-called a bet from Mizzi.

Mizzi turned over number two with the {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and Baker mucked. Baker is down to 76,000 now.
