Abrams Crippled
2-7 Triple Draw
In a four-bet pot pre-draw, we found Scott Abrams draw two while Christopher George and Philip Sternheimer each took one. There were two checks to Sternheimer's button and he tossed out a bet. Both players called and Abrams took two cards once again at the draw. George and Sternheimer exchanged for one new one once more.
All three players checked and Abrams announced he was pat.
"Ooh, Scotty," said George with a grin.
George took one and Sternheimer was pat behind. Abrams fired out a bet, George folded, and Abrams called.
"I have a ninety-seven," said Sternheimer.
"Which ninety-seven?" replied Abrams.
Sternheimer fanned 
which was ahead of Abrams' 
. Sternheimer picked up the pot and left Abrams crippled. He now has just about 55,000 in chips. Sternheimer, on the other hand, is over the million-chip mark with 1.17 million.
