Dominick Sarle raised from the small blind to 50,000, and Joseph Olivieri called from the big blind.

Draw #1:  Sarle took two cards, and Olivieri took two. Sarle bet 25,000, and Olivieri called.

Draw #3:  Sarle took one card, and Olivieri took one. They both showed their first three cards to increase the sweat:

Dominick Sarle:  4c3dAs
Joseph Olivieri:  6c2hAd

Sarle turned over his last card to reveal the 7d, giving him a three-card hand with four high. Olivieri needed any spade or the three of clubs to stay alive.

Olivieri’s last card was — the 7h. Sarle won the pot with his four high in three cards to eliminate Olivieri in third place.
