Another Tough Table, Boeken Beats O'Brien

We discovered another tough table in the Amazon Orange section with six famous faces. Dan O'Brien and Noah Boeken are sitting next to each other in seats two and three, and we just caught an interesting hand between the two.

2-7 Triple Draw

O'Brien raised from the cutoff to 300, and Boeken was his only caller on the button.

Both players drew two cards.

This is when things got very interesting as O'Brien bet 150, Boeken made it 300, O'Brien threw in 450 and the former EPT Copenhagen winner put in 600. This slowed O'Brien down who made the call.

"I don't need anymore," O'Brien said after which Boeken stood pat as well.

O'Brien check-called 300, and on the last drawing round both players stood pat as well. After O'Brien checked, Boeken flicked in three more grey 100 chips, and he got called once again.

Boeken turned over {7-} {6-} {4-} {3-} {2-} , and O'Brien pointed out that that's a 'number two'. In 2-7 games the best possible hand is {7-} {5-} {4-} {3-} {2-} , and Boeken's hand was just a little weaker, therefore a number two.
