Pot-Limit 5-Card Double Draw
Ryuta Nakai raised to 105,000 from early position and, when the action folded to Dylan Smith in the big blind, Smith took some time before reraising the pot. Nakai got his stack of 367,000 into the middle with Smith calling. Smith drew three cards while Nakai drew one on the first draw.
Smith again drew three on the second draw, while Nakai took one, before the players revealed their hands.
Ryuta Nakai: J♥J♣2♦2♥
Dylan Smith: A♦A♣
Nakai held two pair against Smith's aces, and after Smith failed to improve on the final draw, Nakai peeled the irrelevant A♥ to secure the double-up.
