2-7 Lowball Triple Draw
Phil Hellmuth raised under the gun, and David Williams and Ioannis Angelou Konstas called in the blinds. Williams drew two cards, Angelou Konstas requested three, while Hellmuth just needed one.
The trio then checked it to the second draw, where the draws went one, two, one. It was again checked to Hellmuth afterward, but this time he bet. Both opponents called to the final draw, where they drew one card each.
Hellmuth remained pat behind, and he fired another bet after two checks. Williams and Angelou Konstas did not like their last cards, and they mucked in quick succession.
"I played it weird," Hellmuth concluded as he was awarded the pot.
