2-7 Triple Draw
The feature table was a full game behind the outer two tables, and tournament officials paused the clock and the action to give the feature table time to catch up.
"What are you guys doing over there, having a pissing contest?" Mike Matusow shouted out as Justin Liberto raised under the gun. Michael Mizrachi called in the big blind.
Mizrachi drew two and Liberto one. Liberto then bet and Mizrachi called.
Mizrachi again drew two and Liberto took one. Liberto bet again, but this time Mizrachi raised. Liberto then reraised and Mizrachi instantly tossed his cards away.
The next hand, Jon Kyte raised under the gun, Marco Johnson reraised in the cutoff, and Kyte called.
Kyte drew two and Johnson one. Johnson then bet and Kyte called.
Both players drew one and Kyte led out with a bet. Johnson called and Kyte stood pat, while Johnson took one. Both players then checked.
"Just a nine," Kyte said, turning over 9x7x6x5x3x that was enough to win the pot.
"I think you needed one of these cards," Kyte said to Johnson.
"Grinder, play faster," Phil Hellmuth said to Mizrachi, coming over to observe the action.
"There's nobody playing slow. It's just the size of the table," Johnson replied.
