Kruse Fades a Monster
Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
2-7 Triple Draw
Andrew Barfield raised from the cutoff, then called when big blind Max Kruse reraised.
"I'm ahead," Kruse said as he took one and bet. Barfield drew two and called.
Both players stood pat and checked the second draw, then patted again. Kruse now led out with a bet and Barfield called.
Kruse turned over a 8-6-5-4-2 and Barfield flashed a 7-5-3-2 before mucking. "I should've broken it," Barfield lamented. Barfield went rabbit hunting and found he would've made No. 1 if he had drawn on the second draw.
"You have my luck," Tamon Nakamura told Kruse.
