2-7 Lowball Triple Draw
Patrick Stacey raised his button and called when Chance Kornuth three-bet from the small blind. Kornuth took two cards, while Stacey needed three. Kornuth bet after the draw, and Stacey called.
On the second draw, Kornuth only needed one card, while Stacey took two. Kornuth tossed in another bet, taking down the pot as Stacey conceded via a fold.
The next hand, Kornuth raised on the button. Ray Dehkharghani then three-bet from the small blind, and Max Kruse four-bet in the big blind. Kornuth and Dehkharghani both called, drawing two cards with Kruse taking one in between.
Dehkhargani then checked, Kruse bet, and Kornuth and Dehkharghani both called. The players drew the same number of cards on the second draw as on the first draw, after which Kruse bet again, and Kornuth and Dehkhargahni called.
On the final draw, the trio took one card each. Dehkhargani checked, and Kruse bet. Kornuth quickly called, forcing Dehkhargani to muck his cards.
Kruse announced a pair, prompting Kornuth to table Kx7x6x4x2x to rake in the big pot.
"You could have folded a king," Kruse lamented after the hand.
"I already made up my mind that I was going to f**king call," Kornuth replied with a smile.
