Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Christopher Vitch opened to 7,000 from under the gun before Nitesh Rawtani three-bet to 22,000 next to act, and Vitch called.

Vitch took two and Rawtani stood pat. Vitch check-called a bet of 35,000 from Rawtani.

Vitch now drew one and the action checked through. Both patted on the end and it checked through again.

"Eight-seven-six" announced Vitch as he tabled 8x7x6x3x2x.

"I also have an eight-seven-six," replied Rawtani as he held a small hand funeral.

"Does that mean I win?" Vitch joked as he had the best eight-seven-six and he collected another pot to extend his lead atop the counts.
