A-5 Triple Draw
A battle of the blinds saw James Woods and Scott Seiver build a pot of only about 4,000 going to the last draw, where they both took two. However, Seiver grabbed his cards but while Woods was reaching to sweep up his, the dealer apparently accidentally took one into the muck.
The tournament supervisor wasn't sure about the ruling and called for a higher ruling, which Seiver dreaded because he seemed sure Woods' hand would be ruled dead. He said he'd be OK with Woods simply taking the next card. Not wishing to wait for a more senior tournament director to arrive, Woods simply mucked and gave up the pot to Seiver.
When the TD arrived, he confirmed that a by-the-book ruling would kill Woods' hand, however, he'd have been able to make a discretionary ruling that would have allowed Woods to continue playing.

2-7 Triple Draw
Jon Turner raised and Jameson Painter called in the small blind. Both drew two on the first draw and no bets were made.
Painter drew one and Turner changed two. Painter took the betting lead but Turner fired a raise. Painter called and drew one again while Turner patted.
Painter check-called one more bet and did well as Turner couldn't beat his 
. Painter added a sizeable chunk to his stack but Turner is still sitting on a more than a healthy stack of around 90,000. He's among the current tournament leaders.

2-7 Triple Draw
Jesse Martin was on a nub and while he's still far away from a comfort zone, he made the first step to come back and restored his chances to defend his title.
Martin was in the big blind, calling a raise from Nick Pupillo. He took two while Pupillo discarded three. Martin led out and Pupillo called. Martin now drew only one but Pupillo still needed to change three.
Martin bet again and Pupillo saw that he had only 100 more so he put him all-in. Martin called and changed one while Pupillo patted his jack-nine. Martin drew successfully as he rolled over eight-high to seal the double.

A-5 Triple Draw
We only arrived to see the action on the river where David "ODB" Baker bet and last year's Poker Players' Championship runner-up Johannes Becker raised. Baker, however, showed some heart and three-bet. Becker let his hand go and Baker didn't hesitate:
"Aaaah, yes!" Baker said, showing 
for a well-executed bluff.
The players at the table revealed that Becker patted his hand pre-draw, emphasizing Baker's gutsy move.
