Stud Games: 300 Ante, 300 Bring-In, 1,200 Completion, 1,200-2,400 Limits
2-7 Triple Draw
Zach Laxen put in a blind raise before the cards were dealt from under the gun, and Michael Rocco put in a three-bet from the cutoff once seeing his cards. Richard Bai in the small blind, Laura Born in the big blind, and Laxen under the gun, all made the call.
Bai drew two, Born drew one, Laxen drew two, and Rocco drew one. Bai then checked and Born bet. Laxen and Rocco called, before Bai raised, and Laxen three-bet. Rocco went for a four-bet and the table all called.
On the second draw, Bai drew one, Born stood pat, while Laxen and Rocco both drew one. Bai checked, Born bet, and all three players called the bet.
After the final draw, Bai again checked to Born, who bet once more. Laxen folded, and Rocco put in a raise. Bai folded and Born quickly made the call.
Rocco tabled 7♦5♠4♠3♦2♥ for a wheel, as Born tossed #2 7♥6♦4♦3♠2♠ in the muck.
Shortly after the hand, Laxen was eliminated.
