He eventually decided to shove for a total of 10,400 and Leng quickly called.

The turn and river ran out

No Limit 2-7 Single Draw
According to a player at the table, Kathy Fleck was down to her final 3,000 or so when it was her turn to choose the game and said she needed a game with some gamble in it. She decided to choose No Limit 2-7 Single Draw and found herself in the big blind a couple hands later with around one-third of her chips in play between her blind and big blind ante.
A player in the hijack put in a raise and Fleck committed the rest of her chips. Her opponent called and she got to fulfill her word on the gamble as she released all five cards to draw a fresh slate of cards. Her opponent took two and proceeded to flip over all five of his cards, having drawn to a pair of fives. One by one, Fleck turned over a and drew her way to a double up.
