2-7 Triple Draw

Stephen O'Dwyer raised first to act and was called by Peter Rouviere in the cutoff. Allen Kessler made it three bets to go from the big blind and both O'Dwyer and Rouviere called.

Everyone drew two on the first draw and Kessler checked to O'Dwyer, who bet. Rouviere and Kessler both called.

On the second draw, Kessler and Rouviere drew two again while O'Dwyer stood pat. Rouviere and Kessler again called a bet from O'Dwyer.

Kessler and Rouviere reduced their draw to one on the final draw and O'Dwyer remained pat. Action checked through and Kessler revealed he drew to a queen. O'Dwyer turned over 9x8x7x4x3x and Rouveire showed he drew to an ace-low — awarding the pot to O'Dwyer.

Omaha Hi-Lo

Michael Jarmark raised from the hijack and was called by Matthew Schultz in the small blind and Jeremiah Callahan in the big blind.

Schultz and Callahan check-called a bet from Jarmark on the 3♣A♣2♦ flop and it was checked to Jarmark again on the Q♠ turn. He bet and only Callahan called.

The J♦ completed the board and Callahan led out for a bet. Jarmark didn't like it and tanked a while before opting to call.

Callahan revealed K♥10♥6♣5♠ for a straight with a six-low and Jarmark showed A♠Q♥6♦5♥ for the same low with an inferior high for a small rebate.
