2-7 Triple Draw
Sebastian Saffari opened with a raise under the gun and a short-stacked Greg Raymer three-bet the action. It folded around to Brian Tate who called from the big blind and Saffari flat called as well.
Tate announced that he would take two cards, Saffari took three, and Raymer took two. Tate checked and Saffari led out with a bet. Raymer called all in for his last 1,400 and Tate called, forming a side pot.
On the second draw, Tate and Raymer once again took two while Saffari stood pat. Tate check-called another bet and then drew one on the final draw while Saffari once again stayed pat. The action went check-check after the final draw and Tate fanned 
.
Saffari tabled 
for a ninety-seven to win the side pot, but ultimately could not best Raymer's 
. Raymer was able to drag in the main pot and now has about 64,000.
