James Minghini raised on the button and Aaron Cummings, who won this event last year, defended his big blind.
Both players drew two on the first draw and then Cummings led out for a bet, which Minghini called.
On the second draw, both players reduced their draw to one card and Cummings check-called a bet from Minghini.
It was one card each again on the final draw and Cummings went back to betting. Minghini looked him up and Cummings tabled 7x6x5x4x2x. Minghini sent his hand into the muck and Cummings dragged the pot.

Robbie Strazynski, founder and owner of Cardplayerlifestyle.com, has taken a seat in the $1,500 2-7 Triple Draw today. The host of the Mixed Game Festivals across town is playing his first bracelet event in four years after wrapping up the festival earlier this summer.
In one of his first hands, Strazynski kept barrelling in a hand against Ingo Klasen. Both players took one apiece after the second draw, Strazynski patted after the final draw, while Klasen took one. Strazynski bet again and Klasen folded.
