Negreanu's Nine is Best

Level 1

2-7 Triple Draw

Cary Katz raised from the small blind and Daniel Negreanu defended his big blind.

Both drew two and Katz led. Negreanu raised, and Katz called.

Katz now took one and check-called a bet as Negreanu stood pat.

On the final draw, Katz took one and the action checked through.

Cary Katz: 8x8x6x5x3x
Daniel Negreanu: 9x7x5x4x3x

Katz had outs to beat Negreanu's nine but he paired his eight on the end as the defending champion dragged a modest pot.
