No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Scott Seiver had raised in the hijack when Robert Wells three-bet to 2,100 on the button. Seiver responded with a four-bet to 7,200, which Wells called.

Both players drew one card on the draw. Seiver then spent some time looking at the clock before he checked. Wells tossed in a massive bet of 25,000, sending Seiver into the tank.

"I was so happy to hit my card, but then you bet 25,000?" Seiver said as he pondered his decision.

Eventually, he decided to move all in for 40,800. Wells snapped him off, but his 8x6x4x3x2x was no match for the 7x6x4x3x2x of Seiver. Seiver raked in the pot and doubled up, leaving Wells on a short stack.

2-7 Triple Draw

Christopher Vitch raised in the small blind, and Seth Perlman, who picked the game, defended in the big blind. Vitch drew three cards, while Perlman requested two.

Vitch then check-called a bet by Perlman before drawing two cards, with Perlman taking one card. Another check, bet, and call followed before Vitch drew two more cards on the final draw. Perlman remained pat, after which the action quickly checked to showdown.

Perlman announced a jack-low, but Vitch tabled 7x6x4x3x2x for the second nuts to rake in the early pot.
