No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Single Draw
Jesse Lonis opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Phil Ivey defended the big blind. Both players drew one and then checked the action through to showdown where Lonis' Qx7x5x4x2x was the winner.
Benny Glaser raised from the button and folded out Ivey and Lonis in the blinds.
Glaser made it 55,000 from the cutoff and Ivey came along from the button. Glaser drew one while Ivey needed two. Glaser checked and Ivey fired out 200,000, sending Glaser into the tank.
While the Brit mulled over his options, Paul Volpe and Chris Hunichen were sweating the Switzerland - Canada game, trying to work out which team was in red, and which team was in white. After that had been figured out, Glaser folded.
Then Switzerland went 2-0 against Canada, which prompted a "Well, hello there" from Ivey, with Hunichen replying "That's bad for me."
"Oh," said Ivey.
Hunichen then opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Volpe called from the next seat over. Both players drew one, and then Hunichen check-folded to a bet of 400,000.
