Lenkeit Makes It

Level 3 : Limits 400/800, 0 ante

Haresh Thaker raised in the cutoff and Paul Lenkeit raised on the button to see Eric Smith in the small blind and Thaker both call.

Everyone drew one on the first draw and action checked around to Lenkeit who bet and both of his opponents called.

On the second draw, everyone drew once more and the betting action repeated identically.

The third draw saw everyone draw one a third time and action checked around to Lenkeit who bet and both of his opponents folded.

"I thought my three-card was good," Lenkeit said as he flashed 53A before turning over 8 "but I did make it."
