Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Around 20,000 was already in the middle as Elie Nakache and Bariscan Betil went to the second draw. Nakache drew one and Betil stood pat before moving all in for 20,000 from the hijack. Nakache called in the small blind.

Nakache stood pat and Betil took several minutes to decide on his next move. He eventually took one and Nakache showed 8x7x6x5x3x.

"I broke a nine-eight," Betil said, turning over 7x6x2x. He drew the 3x on his first card, but his second was the 9x and he was sent to the rail.

"I don't know if I win if I keep the eight," he added on his way to the exit.
