Moriarty Ascending
A-5 Triple Draw
Aaron Mermelstein opened on the button only to see Ryan Moriarty three-bet out of the small blind. Brant Hale called in the big blind as did Mermelstein to send action three-way to the first draw.
All three players took two on the first draw after which Moriarty led out, receiving two calls.
The second draw saw both Moriarty and Mermelstein take one while Hale opted for two again. Moriarty fired off another bet but was unable to shed either of his opponents, both of whom called.
Moriarty and Hale each took one on the final draw with Mermelstein standing pat. At the conclusion of the final draw, Moriarty bet, getting a fold from Hale but a call from Mermelstein. Moriarty tabled 6x5x3x2xAx, strong enough to take down a large pot.
