Pair is No Good

2-7 Triple Draw

The action folded to Desmond Portano who completed in the small blind, and John Racener checked his option in the big. Portano drew three, and Racener drew four. Portano led out, Racener called, and it was off to the second draw.

Both players drew two, and Portano check-called a bet from Racener. On the third and final draw, Portano drew one, and Racener stood pat. Portano check-called one last bet.

"Pair," Racener announced.

Portano opened up {9-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{2-} for a ninety-eight low, and shipped the pot.
