Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

In what started as an innocent enough hand with Johannes Becker min raising from the small blind and getting a call from Matthew Ashton in the big blind, things then got very interesting, showing the nuance and wild possibilities of No-Limit Single Draw.

Becker patted his hand and Ashton drew three cards.

After Becker checked, likely hoping for a bluff attempt from Ashton, he got a bet from Ashton all right, for 225,000. Over two times the size of the pot.

Becker pondered his decision for a bit, then elected to fold to the large bet, sending his pat hand into the muck, while the three-card draw of Ashton raked in the chips.
