Eslami Makes Becker Break

Level 2

2-7 Triple Draw

Johannes Becker raised in the hijack, John Monnette called on the button, and Ali Eslami defended his big blind. Each player drew two cards, after which Eslami led out.

Becker raised, folding out Monnette. Eslami called before drawing one card on the second draw, with Becker staying pat behind. After the draw, Eslami check-raised Becker's bet. Becker called, Eslami stood pat on the final draw, and Becker went into the tank.

Eventually, he decided to break his hand and drew one card. Eslami fired a bet after the draw. Becker grabbed calling chips, but changed his mind and tossed his cards into the muck.
