Savakinas Doubles Through Glaser, Then Runs into Park

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

Michael Savakinas limped from the small blind, and Benny Glaser checked his option. Each drew three. Savakinas attempted to go all in, but had to reduce the bet to a pot-sized 48,000 and Glaser called.

Each took one this time, and now Savakinas was able to get it all in for 120,000, and again Glaser called. Savakinas patted an eighty-six. Glaser broke a ten, but was only able to make an eighty-seven, and Savakinas had doubled up.

On the next hand, in a raised pot, Hye Park drew one from under the gun, as did Savakinas from the button. Each checked, then drew one more, and checked again. Then each patted.

Park led out for 140,000 and Savakinas said, "I knew you were going to check-raise on second." He tried to find the call and failed. "C'mon!" he said as he folded, "Show me a pair and be a hero." But Park, hero or not, did not oblige.
