No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Jonathan Glendinning opened under the gun and was called by Jonathan Krela in the small blind and Gina Hecht in the big blind.

Krela and Hecht took one and Glendinning was pat. The action checked to Glendinning after the draw and he bet 60,000 with just 12,000 back. Krela quickly folded before Hecht went deep into the tank, but she eventually landed on call.

Jonathan Glendinning: 7x7x4x2x2x
Gina Hecht: 10x6x5x3x2x

Glendinning was bluffing with relevant blockers and Hecht made the right call with her ten to scoop a big one and leave Glendinning on crumbs.

Bruce Walters: XxXx/A♣K♠10♣5♥/Xx
Brad Ruben: XxXx/4♦3♦7♥9♥/Xx
Dan Zack: XxXx/Q♠2♠3♣10♦/Xx

Bruce Walters then bet on fifth street, and both Brad Ruben and Dan Zack called. Walters bet again on sixth and both opponents called once more.

All three players checked on seventh, and Walters showed A♠K♦3♥ for aces and kings to win the pot.
