Abrams Drops

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

Scott Abrams called the bring-in before a third player completed. The bring-in called, as did Abrams.

The completer bet fourth street and both players called, and on fifth street the player with the bring-in took the betting lead and both players called. Sixth street checked through before seventh street saw the bring-in bet as both players called.

Bring-In: {x-}{x-} / {3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{6-Spades} / {x-}
Abrams: {x-}{x-} / {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} / {x-}
Opponent: {x-}{x-} / {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} / {x-}

The bring-in tabled his {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for aces-up and a seven low, and after Abrams folded, the third player tabled his {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a better seven-low.
