2-7 Triple Draw

David Baker just won a massive pot in 2-7 Triple Draw that got him right back in the game. He's currently in second place, but it's all still very close.

The action started with Greg Mueller raising it up to 60,000 from the cutoff and Donnacha O'Dea three-bet from the button to 90,000. Kevin Calenzo gave up his small blind after which Baker four-bet from the big blind to 120,000. Mueller folded and O'Dea called.

Baker stood pat right away and O'Dea drew two cards.

"You three-bet me and draw two?" Mueller said with a smile while Baker had already put in a 30,000 chip bet. O'Dea called.

Baker stood pat again, and O'Dea needed two cards again.

Baker fired out 60,000 right away and O'Dea pondered for a while before calling once more. Baker's action didn't change and he stood pat again. O'Dea needed one card.

On the last betting street Baker checked to the Irishman who looked at his cards and bet out 60,000.

"Raise," Baker announced who put in 120,000 with just 18,000 left behind. O'Dea shook his head, sighed and eventually folded his cards. Baker is out of trouble while O'Dea heads towards the bottom of the standings.
