2-7 Triple Draw

The game changed the next hand, and Ryan Miller raised in the cutoff. Marchington then made it three bets to go on the button, and Kenney four-bet from the big blind.

Miller called before Marchington capped the betting at five bets, which Kenney and Miller both called. Kenney and Miller each needed one new card, while Marchington requested two. It then checked around, and the same drawing action occurred.

Kenney led out with a bet after the second draw. Both players called, drawing one card each against Kenney's pat hand.

Kenney added another bet to the pot after the final draw, but he received two quick folds to prevent a showdown.
