Strebkov Eliminates Two In Crazy Triple Draw Hand

Level 16
Denis Strebkov

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Before the draws, Ryan Laplante and Cody Wells were all-in for approximately 100,000 each versus Denis Strebkov who had both players covered.

On the first and second draws, each player took one card.

On the third draw, Strebkov was first to act and patted his hand, Wells then took some time with his decision and chose to pat. Laplante patted behind as well.

Here's where things got interesting.

No one immediately tabled their hand, and in the time it took while Wells was making his decision, it seemed as though everyone lost track of the draws.

Strebkov made a 'stand pat' motion, and then Wells pulled a card out of his hand and put it on the table. Laplante patted again, the dealer slid Wells a new card, and somehow a fourth draw took place!

At this point, the hands were tabled and fortunately, the outcome of the hand wasn't impacted as Strebkov showed {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, Laplante showed {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-}, and after sweating that potentially controversial fourth draw, Wells drew a {k-} to go with his {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}.

Disaster was averted and Strebkov won a huge pot, eliminating Wells and Laplante.
