Carr Drives Away with the Pot

Pot Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Roger Battles raised from late position and James Carr put in the third bet from the small blind. Both the big blind and Battles made the call. Carr drew one while Battles and the big blind each took two.

Carr bet 40,000 after the first draw, the big blind folded but Battles called. On the second draw, they each drew one.

Carr now checked to Battles who seized the betting lead with a bet of 65,000. Carr decided to call.

"You got it, man," said Battles. What he didn't realize was there was still one draw left. "Oh, thank god."

Now, they each took one card one more time. Battles started to move chips into the middle before realizing action was on Carr first. Carr took the initiative himself and moved all in for 192,000. Battles folded.

"I thought I had a monster, but looked back and realized I didn't," said Battles.
