Kruse Left Short After Breaking Wrongly
Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
Ryutaro Suzuki raised from the hijack and got called by Max Kruse on the button and Phil Ivey in the big blind. All players then drew two cards on the first draw. Ivey checked to Suzuki, who tossed a bet and received two more calls.
On the second draw, Ivey drew one card and Suzuki followed suit. Kruse still exchanged two cards, after which Suzuki placed another bet after Ivey had checked.
Kruse then raised, forcing Ivey to muck his cards. Suzuki matched Kruse's bet and stood pat on the final draw. Confused, Kruse tossed out one card.
Suzuki checked after the draw and Kruse quickly followed suit. Suzuki tabled 8x7x6x5x2x for an eight-low.
"I would have won," claimed Kruse before showing 7x6x3x2x.
When asked if Kruse broke an eight, he responded, "Unfortunately, I did."
