No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Michael Rocco raised to 6,000 on the button and was three-bet to 25,000 by John Hennigan in the big blind. Undeterred, Rocco made it 56,000 to go and Hennigan called.

Hennigan took one off and Rocco stood pat.

Hennigan then fired 125,000 into the middle — sending Rocco deep into the tank.

Rocco eventually thought better of it and let his hand go to send the pot Hennigan's way.

"Of course I had a nine," Ono replied.

In a limped pot, Maxx Coleman bet 15,000 on the 6♠5♠3♦ flop. Albert Daher shoved and was called by Dario Sammartino. Coleman then reshoved and Sammartino called again.

Albert Daher: J♣7♥5♣4♣ All in
Maxx Coleman: K♦7♠4♦3♥ All in
Dario Sammartino: 6♣6♥A♥3♣

"There's the seven-four," said Chino Rheem as the three players tabled their hands. "There's another seven-four. There's a set of sixes."

The turn was the 2♦. "No one has spades?" asked Rheem before the river was the 8♦.

Coleman leaned forward and slid out the two diamonds from his hand, rivering a flush and doubling through Sammartino and sending Daher to the rail.
