East Coast Mike Bounces Back
Mike Ross, called "ECM" by his friends in the rail, is now closing on his heads-up opponent. The chip stacks are nearly tied after Ross' recent success in limit hold'em, stud hi-lo and 2-7 triple draw.
Limit Hold'em
Ross was in position on the 
flop and he raised over Ware's lead. Ware called and they went to the 
where Ross continued with another bet, which was check-called by Ware. The river 
was tapped and Ross took down the pot with 
for a top pair.
Stud Hi-Lo
Ware completed with 
and then fired on all three following streets, earning calls each time. The seventh street was checked.
Ron Ware: 
/ 
Mike Ross: / 
Ross showed 
and when Ware saw it, he declared: "Scoop."
Ross wasn't sure if he heard it correctly, so he asked: "Scoop?" Ware confirmed, giving up another pot to Ross.
2-7 Triple Draw
Ross raised and Ware called. Both players drew two and Ware check-called before they changed one apiece on the second draw, which remained checked. They both drew one again on the third draw and Ross called Ware's bet. Ware announced a pair and left another chunk go Ross' way.
