A-5 Triple Draw
Heads-up after the first draw, Chino Rheem checked from the small blind and Mike Thorpe bet. Rheem raised to put him all in and Thorpe called all in for 1,000 behind.
Rheem drew two on the second draw and Thorpe drew one.
On the final draw, both players stood pat and Rheem said, "Michael Wins."
Thorpe turned over 7x6x5x3xAx for a seven and Rheem showed he held 9x8x6x4x2x for a nine to award Thorpe the pot.
"When you pat, I know you win," Rheem said as Thorpe collected the pot.
