2-7 Triple Draw

Adam Friedman raised from under the gun as Thomas Brown defended his big blind.

Both players took two and checked before Brown drew one and Friedman two on the second draw.

Brown checked to Friedman, who put out a bet. Brown called and took one, while Friedman stood pat.

Brown checked again, but this time folded to a bet.

"I went from a seven-high straight to an eight-high straight. Then I made a pair of fours," Brown said.

"I could beat a pair of fours," Friedman replied.

Brown is down from his peak but still sitting comfortably among the largest stacks in the room.
