The Pirate Plundered, then Pillages

Max Pescatori went to showdown drawing just one card the whole way. He was heads up against a player who drew three, two, and one on the successive drawing rounds. The two men each got two bets in before the first draw, one bet after that, and two each on the second draw. On the final draw, Pescatori stood pat and fired another bullet. His opponent had made 8-7-6-4-2 and put in the call. Pescatori showed a 3-3-7-4-5 to drop down to about 1,500 chips.

But he'd get them back on the very next hand. The Italian Pirate got three bets in before the draw with two opponents coming along. He would take one card on the first draw, and his bet was called by both opponents. On the second draw, Pescatori took one card again before betting. One opponent raised, the second called, and Pescatori called all in for his last 200 chips. He'd stand pat on the final draw.

After his two opponents had checked on the end, Pescatori tabled 7-6-5-3-2. His seventy-six low was plenty good to win him the pot and chip him back up into contention. He's on 4,500 now.
