2-7 Lowball Triple Draw
Jason Mercier raised on the button, and Maxx Coleman defended his big blind. Both players drew two cards, checked, and took two again on the second draw.
Coleman then check-called a bet by Mercier, who left himself 60,000 behind. The duo requested one new card each, seeing Coleman put his opponent all in after the draw.
"I made deuces," Mercier said before he called off his final chips.
"Which deuces?" Coleman asked as he tabled 8x7x3x2x2x. Mercier had made 8x6x5x2x2x, giving him lower kickers to his pair to take the pot and double up.

2004 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Greg "Fossilman" Raymer is known for handing out authentic fossil card protectors to those who eliminate him, but not all players are so lucky.
Raymer, who is currently running deep in Event #61: $1,000 Super Seniors, revealed to PokerNews that his fossil giveaway comes with a "douche bag clause" that leaves some players who bust him with chips and a story, but no prehistoric card protector.

Kristsopher Tong: 7♠6♣ / 8♣9♠5♥2♣ / Q♠
Nick Guagenti completed and Kristopher Tong called as they headed to fourth street.
