Action was picked up after the second draw. Lok Chan checked from the small blind, Randy Ohel checked from the big blind and Carol Fuchs checked from the button. All three players drew one.

Ohel tabled 8x6x4x3x2x to take the pot down for a key triple up.

Carol Fuchs bet from the cutoff in the next hand and received a call from Lok Chan in the button. Both players drew two and checked after the first draw.

With one draw remaining Fuchs bet again and Chan made the call. Fuchs stood pat, Chan drew one.
