A-5 Triple Draw
George Alexander raised on the button and in the small blind, Schuyler Thornton called.
Thornton drew two while Alexander drew one and Thornton check-called a bet from Alexander.
On the second draw, Thornton drew one while Alexander stood pat and the betting action repeated identically.
The third draw saw Thornton draw one while Alexander stood pat and Thornton checked over to Alexander. Alexander bet, prompting Thornton to raise and Alexander clicked it back. Thornton sighed and put in the call and mucked when he saw Alexander turn over 6x4x3x2xAx for number two.
Alexander shot back over the ten million mark while Thornton was left as the shortest stack remaining.
