Park Busts Shoreman

Niveau 21

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

Under the gun, Jon Shoreman raised to 20,000 and Hye Park called from middle position and Steve Zolotow called from the big blind.

Federico Quevedo laid out his theory of 2-7 as he folded. "I'm only playing pat wheels. Save the thinking for other games."

Each of the remaining players drew two cards, then Shoreman moved all in for his remaining 175,000. Park called and Zolotow folded.

Park turned over 8x7x6x3x2x and after two more draws, Shoreman could not improve his 8x5x3x2x draw, pairing an eight on his last chance to avoid elimination.

On the next hand Quevedo raised and took down the blinds. "Not quite a pat wheel," he joked, "but close."

Niveau 22

No-Limit 5-Card Draw High

Savakinas Doubles Through Glaser, Then Runs into Park

Niveau 22

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

Michael Savakinas limped from the small blind, and Benny Glaser checked his option. Each drew three. Savakinas attempted to go all in, but had to reduce the bet to a pot-sized 48,000 and Glaser called.

Each took one this time, and now Savakinas was able to get it all in for 120,000, and again Glaser called. Savakinas patted an eighty-six. Glaser broke a ten, but was only able to make an eighty-seven, and Savakinas had doubled up.

On the next hand, in a raised pot, Hye Park drew one from under the gun, as did Savakinas from the button. Each checked, then drew one more, and checked again. Then each patted.

Park led out for 140,000 and Savakinas said, "I knew you were going to check-raise on second." He tried to find the call and failed. "C'mon!" he said as he folded, "Show me a pair and be a hero." But Park, hero or not, did not oblige.
