: 250/500, 0 ante
A-5 Triple Draw
Chris Klodnicki was acting first in a three-way pot. He took three while the other two players drew two each. The player in position bet but they continued three-way to the second draw.
Klodnicki drew two, the second player one and the last one patted. Klodnicki checked-raised, getting rid of the player behind him but the player in position called.
Sloppy Klod patted and so did his opponent who called one more bet.
Klodnicki announced a six, rolling over his 
. His opponent leant across the table to see Klodnicki's cards. Then he showed the same hand and they chopped the pot.
"When you said six, I wasn't happy," he added, first thinking that Klodnicki had him beat.
