Level 7 : 250/500, 125 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

We caught up to Ryan Riess and Ismael Bojang in the midst of a hand. Both players had already taken their first draw and Riess had put most of his stack in the middle of the table already. He only had 250 behind. Both players took one. Bojang checked. Ries moved all in for 250 and Bojand called.

Both players took one again on the last draw then tabled their hands.

Riess: {7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}
Bojang: {7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}

"Eight or three," Bojang asked the dealer.

"You show first so I know what I have to beat," Riess asked. Both wishes were granted when Bojang turned up the {8-}, making his low.

Riess sweated his last card. He needed a five or three to stay alive.

"It's a two spotter," Riess said. "Could be a five."

But it wasn't. He flipped it up and revealed a {4-} and he was removed from the tournament while Bojang closed in on the chip lead.
