Defending Bring-In With Connor Drinan
Connor Drinan belongs to the group of players who are still waiting for their first WSOP bracelet win. Drinan is also that type of a player who can never be cut from predictions, leaving his debut victory to a question of when more than if.
Beast both live and online, Drinan is an accomplished player in no-limit hold'em and beyond. He's trying his luck in the $1,500 Stud Hi-Lo today, and the stars' constellation was in his favor in the last few minutes of the third level.
Drinan, whose left-hand opponent is Jeff Lisandro, had the bring-in in two consecutive hands. He won them both.
Hand #1:
Drinan brought in with the 
and a player with the 
completed. Another player came along with the 
and so did Drinan. The player with the eight bet out on the fourth street, earning two calls. Drinan, however, led out himself on the fifth street, forcing two folds.
Player one: 
/ 
(folded on the fifth street)
Player two: / 
(folded on the fifth street)
Drinan: / 
Hand #2:
Drinan was dealt the 
and paid the bring-in again. A player with the 
completed and another player with the 
joined the contest. Drinan called as well. The original aggressor bet out on both fourth and fifth streets, and both of his opponents called each time. Drinan then bet the sixth street, and the hand still remained three-handed as they continued to the seventh street where it was the original aggressor who bet again. Only Drinan called, and he was right.
Player one: / 
Player two: / 
Drinan: / 
Drinan's opponent mumbled something about having nothing, turning over 
for a pair of sixes. Drinan declared queens before rolling over his 
to scoop another pot.
