2-7 Triple Draw

George Alexander raised on the button and Benny Glaser called in the big blind.

Glaser drew two while Alexander drew one which saw Glaser check-call a bet from Alexander.

On the second draw, Alexander drew one while Glaser drew two. Alexander bet after Glaser checked and Glaser went into the tank. He contemplated his decision for a bit before deciding to raise all in, and Alexander called.

Both players drew one on the final draw with Glaser saying "I had a really messed up decision in this spot."

Benny Glaser: 7x5x4x2x All in
George Alexander: 6x4x3x2x

Glaser peeled over an Ax, and Alexander peeled over his card to see a 5x.

"Oh my god!" Alexander lamented shaking his head as he made a straight to see Glaser's ace as the best hand, meaning Glaser doubled at the expense of Alexander.
