Pot-limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Joao Simao was all in before the first draw heads-up against another player.

On the first drew, his opponent stood pat and Simao stood pat also. The dealer looked perplexed but, with some guidance from David "ODB" Baker, she burnt a card ready for the second "draw".

Both players stood pat again, and the dealer burnt for the third draw.

Simao's opponent stood pat for a third time and Simao smiled, agonizing over his decision before eventually deciding to draw one.

His opponent showed {9-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and Simao looked semi-relieved showing {9-}{4-}{3-}{2-} having said he had thrown away a {10-}.

He drew a {5-} completing a better low than his opponent and doubled up.
