Level 3

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

After a pot-limit Omaha hand that saw Loi Phan nearly triple up when he hit top set over another player's middle set and a thirds' straight flush draw on a J♠6♥10♠ flop, the action switched to pot-limit 2-7 triple draw.

Ryan Johnson raised 600 from under the gun and Jon Shoreman called from the big blind. Each player drew two, then one, and then Shoreman moved all in for his remaining 8,000, and Johnson folded, saying, "I have all the sevens!" and showed three of them.

"And I have all the eights," replied Shoreman with a smile, showing two of them.
