Level 2

Big O

David Moskowitz had opened under the gun when Patrick Leonard three-bet to 2,500 on the button. The action folded back to Moskowitz, who flicked in a call.

The flop was dealt 10♥8♦3♣, on which Leonard continued for another 2,500 chips. Moskowitz check-called before leading out for 10,000 on the J♣ turn.

Leonard tanked for a bit but decided to call for the 4♦ river to complete the board. Moskowitz piled in 25,500 chips and Leonard entered another small tank.

Eventually, he decided to put in the required chips for a call, after which Moskowitz showed A♣K♠K♣4♥2♣ for the nut low with a pair of kings. Leonard played the same low with A♦J♠10♣7♦2♠, but his two pair won him the high part of the pot, much to his surprise.

Level 2

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Eric Wasserson raised as first to act and received a call from Vincent Kent in the small blind. Viktor Blom then three-bet from the big blind, which both players called.

Kent drew two cards and Blom drew one before Wasserson joined Kent in exchanging two cards.

Kent checked, after which Blom bet and received two more calls. Kent still tossed two cards in the middle and Blom was still drawing one. Wasserson was the only player who improved as he also exchanged one card.

Kent checked for a second time and another bet followed from Blom. Wasserson stuck around with a call before Kent's cards hit the muck. Blom drew one more card before Wasserson decided to stay pat.

Blom led out after the final draw, but Wasserson quickly raised. Blom gave it some thought but eventually surrendered his cards and thus the pot to his opponent.
