2-7 Triple Draw
Anderson Ireland raised first to act and called a three-bet from Nam Le, who was in the small blind.
Le drew one and Ireland drew two on the first draw. Both players then checked.
On the second draw, Le drew and Ireland drew two again. Le moved in for his last 35,000 and Ireland called.
Both players drew one on the final draw and a showdown was held.
Nam Le: 5x4x3x2x
Anderson Ireland: 7x6x3x2x
Ireland peeled a 7x first for a pair of sevens and Le turned over an Ax. Le at first thought he held a straight, but in 2-7, the ace is always high — meaning Le was awarded the double up.
