Kessler and Eslami Fight in Triple Draw

2-7 Triple Draw

We just caught a very interesting hand over at table Table 366 between Allen Kessler and Ali Eslami. The game was 2-7 Triple Draw and the action was picked up after the first draw.

Eslami was in the cutoff and checked to Kessler who fired out 600. Immediately Eslami raised to 1,200, and Kessler made it three bets to go. The action wasn't done for this betting round as Eslami put in 2,400. Kessler called.

Eslami stood pat on the second drawing round and Kessler took one card.

Eslami bet 1,200 right away and Kessler called.

On the final draw Eslami stood pat once again, and Kessler drew one card again. Eslami fired out 1,200 once again, and the raising game was back on. Kessler made it 2,400, Eslami put in 3,600 and Kessler popped it up to 4,800. Eslami had enough and opted not to cap the action as he made the call.

"Number two," Kessler announced as he showed {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Eslami mucked his cards and Kessler raked in this nice pot in the first level of play.
