2-7 Triple Draw
The tournament staff had just shown Jiaming Zhao the translated rules of 2-7 triple draw when the first hand of the game was dealt. He then limped in from the cutoff and Mike Watson came along in the small blind.
Imad Derwiche checked in the big blind and drew three cards after Watson had done so first. Zhao drew two, after which Watson led out with a bet.
Both Derwiche and Zhao called. Watson drew one on the second draw, while Derwiche and Zhao both needed two. Watson then bet again, folding out Derwiche. Zhao, however, called and stood pat after Watson drew one card.
Watson checked to Zhao after the final draw, and the latter put in a bet. Watson quickly folded before Zhao proudly tabled 10x8x7x5x2x as he was awarded the pot.
