2-7 Triple Draw
Yehuda Buchalter raised his button and Von Altizer defended her big blind. She decided to draw three cards while Buchalter just needed two.
Altizer then check-called a bet after the first draw and drew two cards, Buchalter followed suit, showing a 2x discard in the process.
Altizer checked once more after the second draw and Buchalter bet after he had "seen one good one." This was enough to let Altizer lay down her hand.
Buchalter tabled 8x6x5x4x2x for the table to see while he stacked up his newly acquired chips. On other tables, Yueqi Zhu and Ari Engel were seen joining the field.
