2-7 Triple Draw

Alexander Wilkinson opened on the button then called after Renan Bruschi three-bet out of the big blind.

Bruschi took one while Wilkinson opted for two after which Wilkinson called a bet from his opponent.

The second draw saw Bruschi stand pat. Wilkinson took one, then called off for his remaining chips when Bruschi bet.

Bruchi tabled 9x8x7x3x2x once Wilkinson drew one. Wilkinson held 6x5x4x2x so was very much drawing live but ended up peeling 5x to pair up, forcing him to the exits short of the money.
