2-7 Triple Draw

Yuri Dzivielevski raised first to act and was called by James Tilton in the cutoff and Roberto Najera in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Najera drew three, while both Dzivielevski and Tilton drew two on the first draw. It was then checked to Tilton, who bet. Najera called, Dzivielevski raised, and Tilton made it three-bets to go, which got a fold from Najera and a call from Dzivielevski.

Both players drew one on the second draw and Dzivielevski check-called a bet.

On the final draw, Dzivielevski drew one and Tilton stood pat. Dzivielevski led out for a bet and then called a raise from Tilton, who said, "Number one" as he fanned out 7x5x4x3x2x for a wheel.

Dzivielevski mucked and Tilton dragged the nice pot.

Stud Hi-Lo

Jiyang Gan: 10♠5♥5♦/5♣3♦A♣A♦
Bradley Smith: XxXx/5♠4♠Q♥Q♦/Xx
Robert Spano: XxXx/9♦10♣4♣2♥/Xx - folded on seventh street
Nam Le: XxXx/2♦6♥10♥8♦ - folded on sixth street

Jiyang Gan called the bring-in with his five and Bradley Smith completed. Robert Spano and Nam Le called, but Gan then raised when action was back on him. Everyone called for a bloated four-way pot.

Gan bet and everyone called on fourth and fifth street.

On sixth street, Gan bet again, which got a call from Smith and Spano, but a fold from Le.

Gan didn't let up on seventh and bet. Smith looked him up and Spano folded.

Gan turned over a full house and Smith scooped up his cards and sent them into the muck — awarding the large pot to Gan.
