Mike Gorodinsky popped it up with a raise and found a call from Don Nguyen in the cutoff. The button and blinds folded, leaving the duo heads up to the draw. Gorodinsky took one new card while Nguyen opted for two. Gorodinsky led with a bet and Nguyen called.

Both players took one card on the second draw and the action went check-check to the final draw where they both took one again. Gorodinsky led out only to have Nguyen come over the top. Gorodinsky kicked his cards in and Nguyen was awarded the pot.

Level 3 : 300/600, 0 ante

Frank Kassela raised before the first draw and it folded around to Eli Elezra in the small blind. He made it three bets to go and it folded back around to Kassela who called.

Elezra drew one while Kassela took two. Elezra led out and Kassela called to see the next draw. Elezra once again drew one and Kasslea took two. Elezra led and Kassela stuck around.

On the final draw, Elezra stood pat and checked his option as well. Kassela took one card but quickly knuckled the table back, announcing that he picked up an ace. Elezra fanned and was pushed the pot. Last year's Triple Draw champion is now sitting on about 56,000 in chips.

Level 3 : 300/600, 0 ante

Marco Johnson was under the gun and raised up the action. Ismael Bojang made it three bets from the cutoff and it folded back to Johnson who called. Both players took one new card at the first draw and checked to the second draw where they each took one again.

Johnson checked for a second time and Bojang fired out a bet. Johnson called and drew one card for a third time. Bojang stood pat.

On the final betting round, Johnson tossed out a bet and Bojang called for a showdown. Johnson tabled his which was enough to take down the pot. Johnson now sits around 53,000 while Bojang has fallen to 45,000.
