5 Card Draw

Narcis Nedelcu raised to 10,000 from the hijack when a player on the button three-bet all in for 63,000. Alex Foxen in the small blind elected to make the call, and Nedelcu folded.

Alex Foxen stood pat, which then put the all-in player in a tough spot. He showed he had aces, but mucked one of them and drew three cards.

Button: A♠J♠ All in
Alex Foxen: J♣8♣7♣3♣2♣

Foxen stood pat with a flush, and it meant the all-in player would have to draw to a higher flush or make a full house. He first turned over the 7♠ but when he showed that he also drew 5x2x he was eliminated from the tournament.

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Chino Rheem opened from under the gun. In the big blind, Bryan Micon jammed for 46,000 and Rheem snap-called.

Micon took some time before he decided to draw one.

When it was Rheem's turn to act he admitted, "I don't know what I have," as he sweated his final card. His fifth card was a Kx which he discarded.

Bryan Micon: 9x6x3x2x All in
Chino Rheem: 7x5x4x2x

Rheem went first out of courtesy to the all-in player and he peeled a 10x to make a ten-seven.

Micon had several outs to survive but he also peeled a 10x to make a worse ten-nine as he hit the rail.
