Pollak Triples, Watson Wins Side Pot

Level 11 : Limits 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Benjamin Pollak limped in under the gun, leaving himself 3,500 behind. Jiaming Zhao then raised his button and Mike Watson called in the big blind.

Pollak tossed in his final chips and drew four cards, while Watson and Zhao both needed two.

Watson then made a bet into the side pot and was called. Watson stood pat on the second draw before his opponents took two cards each.

Another bet and call followed, after which Watson stood pat a final time. Pollak and Zhao drew one card, and Watson bet. Zhao folded and Watson showed 9x6x5x4x2x.

However, Pollak had drawn the nuts with his 7x5x4x3x2x and tripled up to a stack of three big bets.
