2-7 Lowball Triple Draw
Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo brought very little action on their table with only one fourth street, which Kristopher Tong won with the J♠J♦ showing and flashed his A♥K♦ in the hole.
In Triple Draw, Tong ramped up the aggression thereafter.
He raised the button and called a three-bet by Maxx Coleman in the small blind. Coleman took two versus one and check-called a bet. Both took one each for Coleman to bet and Tong to call. Coleman patted the final draw and Tong took one. The bet of Coleman was called albeit reluctantly and Coleman won the hand with the 8x7x6x5x3x.
Tong got the chips back almost immediately by beating Jason Mercier with an 8x7x6x5x3x to leave the latter visibly annoyed.
Tong then defended against Coleman's raise while in the big blind and took three cards, Coleman took two. Tong bet and Coleman called. On the second draw, both took one and Tong bet again. Coleman raised and Tong then made it three bets, Coleman folded.
