2-7 Lowball Triple Draw
Paul Volpe raised in the cutoff and then called a three-bet by Maxx Coleman on the button. Volpe took two and Coleman took one, the former then check-called a bet.
On the second draw, Volpe took one versus pat and check-called another bet. They patted the final draw and Volpe checked, facing another bet for a large portion of his short stack. After some consideration, Volpe called and mucked against the 8x5x4x3x2x of Coleman.
One hand later, Volpe raised in the hijack and called all-in for 625,000 total when Coleman three-bet. Volpe's two versus Coleman led them to the second draw on which Volpe patted and Coleman took one. The same action repeated on the final draw and the cards were turned over.
Paul Volpe: 8x7x4x3x2x
Maxx Coleman: 6x5x4x2x
Coleman needed an eight or seven but only caught an Ax for Volpe to survive.
