No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Calvin Anderson opened to 3,000 from under the gun, Dekel Balas called on the button, and the big blind came along as well.

The big blind took two while Anderson and Balas drew one.

Anderson bet 5,000 and was snap-called by Balas while the big blind quickly mucked.

"Jack," announced Anderson.

Balas replied, "Me too."

"Jack-nine," continued Anderson

Again Balas responded, "Me too." The cards finally hit their backs at this point.

Calvin Anderson: Jx9x8x4x2x
Dekel Balas: Jx9x5x4x3x

Balas had Anderson pipped with a better jack-nine to scoop a modest pot as the field size crossed 310 entries.
