Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

PokerNews was just alerted to the elimination of Daniel Negreanu by his now-former tablemates.

As told by his executioner, Venkata Tayi, Negreanu was all-in by the final draw holding 2x3x4x5x and drawing one, while Tayi was still drawing two cards.

Negreanu paired his deuce, while Tayi drew an ace and a nine to go with his three babies, making his ace-low the winner and sending the Poker Hall of Famer to the rail.
