Niveau 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Ian Johns, who won two bracelets at the 2016 World Series of Poker in addition to his first from 2006, won't add another one in the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship.

Johns was knocked out by Abe Mosseri, who had a ten-six. Johns had a sweat with one new card to turn over to stay in the tournament, but he was not delivered what he wished for.

No Bracelet for Alex Luneau

Terry Jennings from earlier in the Series

After some furious betting action pre-draw, Alex Luneau, Terry Jennings, and Joshua Mountain found themselves involved in a capped pot.

After the pre-draw betting, Mountain took two, Jennings took one, and Luneau took one as well. Mountain checked to Jennings. Jennings bet. Luneau raised. Mountain folded, and Jennings called.

On the second draw, both players stood pat, then checked. They stood pat again on the third draw, and Jennings led with a bet. Luneau thought a while, then called. Jennings showed , and that was good to take the pot.

"Nice hand from the self-proclaimed best ace-to-five player in the world," Abe Mosseri said after the hand.

"Now, I don't know if I'd say I was the best, but I'm certainly up there," Jennings said. "I have five gold bracelets."

"Wow," Mosseri said. "You have five World Series of Poker bracelets?"

"No no," Jennings continued. "Not World Series. Here let me just show you."

Jennings then produced a bag full of gold- and silver- plated bracelets from his pocket and explained that if he is beaten in a certain game, then he gives the bracelets out to the victors — after he engraves them, of course.

"Shaun Deeb has one," Jennings said. "I remember that."

Unfortunately for Luneau, he lost the hand and didn't earn a Terry Jennings bracelet. Not only that, Luneau is still looking for his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet, as well, so he'll have to keep trying if he wants to win either.

Jon Turner Triples Up

Jan_Kores

Niveau 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Shaun Deeb raised and received two calls, as Jon Turner came along from the button and John Monnette from the big blind.

All players drew two, and Monnette and Deeb let Turner bet. They both called and drew two again, while Turner changed only one this time.

Turner bet again in position, earning a call from Monnette, but Deeb woke up with a check-raise. Turned announced he was all in, making it 600 more than Deeb's bet. Monnette and Deeb both paid the extra.

Monnette took one on the last draw, while Deeb and Turner both patted. The side pot action went check-check.

Turner showed , and neither Deeb nor Monnette could beat it. Monnette tabled pair of sevens, and Deeb only flashed his ten-six for the blink of an eye. Monnette didn't see Deeb's hand and suggested to the floor staff that the dealers should remind the players about tabling their hands when a player is all in.
