2-7 Triple Draw

Erik Perry raised to 40,000 from the button (with 4,000 behind), Eugene Mistretta called in the small blind, and Josh Thatcher called in the big blind.

Mistretta took two, Thatcher drew one, Perry took two, and action checked around.

Mistretta took one, Thatcher drew one, Perry took two, Mistretta checked, Thatcher bet 40,000, Perry folded, and Mistretta called.

Mistretta took one, Thatcher stood pat, and both checked.

Thatcher tabled 8x7x6x5x2x, Mistretta mucked, and Thatcher won the pot.

Josh Thatcher  –  330,000  (8 BB)
Eugene Mistretta  –  390,000  (10 BB)
Erik Perry  –  4,000  (< 1 BB)

Shortly thereafter, Perry called all in for 4,000 in the hijack and action folded to Nick Zivolich in the big blind.

Zivolich: 3-1-1
Perry:  2-Pat-Pat

Zivolich turned up 7x6x5x4x and caught an 8x for a worst-case-scenario eight-high straight, while Perry tabled 8x5x4x3x2x for an eight perfect to triple up to 12,000.

Erik Perry  –  12,000  (< 1 BB)
Nick Zivolich  –  360,000  (9 BB)
