2-7 Lowball Triple Draw
Dan Shak had just been eliminated by Kristopher Tong and left the table rather upset.
What followed was then an open-raise by Brian Rast in the cutoff. Tong called with his massive stack on the button, which was then dubbed as "the heat check" by Christopher Vitch when Rast discarded two and Tong took three.
They checked to the second draw on which both took two. Rast bet and Tong called. The final draw saw both players discard one each and Rast's bet was called. Rast showed a pair of eights, and Tong won the next pot with 7x5x3x3x2x for a pair of treys.
The heat check is confirmed. Tong is still running hot.
