NL 2-7 Single Draw

Huck Seed raised to 1,600 from the hijack and was called by Jiyang Gan from the cutoff. Both players drew one, and action checked through to showdown where Seed's Jx8x6x3x2x was best.

On the next deal, Ray Fishman moved all in for 13,000 from the button and Seed called from the big blind.

Seed stood pat, while Fishman took one.

Seed rolled over Jx10x7x5x3x for a jack-ten low. Fishman, who said he started with 8x7x4x4x2x, pitched his four and then turned over the Jx to make a better jack-low to double up.
