"Rebuy!" he said, holding up two one-dollar bills, on losing the last of his chips.
Looks like he found the exit okay.
"I don't have a 6 or an 8 or a 2," said Yanayt, "but I have some other cards. I think they're pretty good." He showed 9-7-5-4-3, drawing peals of laughter from Tony G. Soulier mucked his hand, allowing Yanayt to survive and to continue to entertain his table.
Jonathan Little is also out. He was drawing live against a nine on the third draw. He drew one card, but pulled a ten and hit the rail.
On the second round, Brunson again stood pat and Minieri took one card. Again, Minieri check-called Brunson's bet.
On the third round, Minieri stood pat. Seeing that, Brunson decided to break his hand and drew one card. Both checked.
Minieri showed a 10-8. "A ten?" said Brunson, who looked as though he probably broke a better hand. He mucked.
To reiterate, at the start of the tournament Effel declared that discards will immediately be killed and placed in the dead wood. (This is the pile that includes mucked hands but excludes burn cards.) Those cards will be shuffled back into the deck if needed. However, burn cards will stay down on the table for the duration of the hand.
Howard Lederer thinks all discards should be kept separate from mucked cards; you should never have the chance to get back the same card. Typically, in 2-7 Triple Draw, the discards are kept in a separate pile from the muck for this very reason. However, under Effel's rule, it's possible that a player could receive in the third draw a card he discarded before the first draw.
Greg Raymer, and several other name pros, are even more unhappy with the chance to receive the same card in the same round. They all agree that there should never be the chance for such a situation to occur. However, again, under Effel's rule, each player discards, and those discards are immediately killed and placed in the dead wood. If the stub proves insufficient to cover all draws in that round, the dead wood is shuffled and then the draw is completed.
