Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
Following an open raise to 1,800 on the button, Ryan Goindoo called out of the small blind. James Obst in the big blind made it 7,200 to go and Goindoo was the only caller. Both discarded one and checked to the second draw, on which Goindoo patted and Obst discarded one.
Goindoo bet 7,000 for Obst to raise to 18,800 and the call of Goindoo followed, which led them to the final draw. Both now patted and Goindoo check-folded to a bet worth 19,000.

Gorodinsky then bet 2,500 but Williams had enough to stick around, drawing one after Gorodinsky again stood pat.
Gorodinsky then bet 6,000 after the second draw and Williams thought briefly before showing 2♥2♦XxXxXx and sending his hand to the muck.

Scott Bohlman entered early in level four and was involved in three-way action in the corner section of the tournament area. He was up against Michael McKenna and Chad Eveslage but opted to fold when Eveslage bet after the final draw, while McKenna stuck around.
Eveslage announced a Seven Badugi and a pair of fives, exposing the 5♥ / 7♠5♣4♦2♥. McKenna chopped with his 3♥ / 8♣7♦6♠A♥ as both earned some profit.
There are now up to 68 entries in the field with yesterday's runner-up Andrew "AJ" Kelsall in the mix, among plenty of other big names in the mixed games scene.

On the 10♥ river, both players checked with Goindoo showing J♥J♦8♣4♥ for a jack-high flush and the winner.
