Smith Gets Short, Then Chops
A-5 Triple Draw
Matthew Smith raised in the cutoff and Chad Eveslage called in the small blind. Each player drew two cards before Eveslage led out.
Smith called and drew one card as Eveslage stood pat. The same sequence occurred on the final draw, after which Smith folded to a final bet from his opponent.
A few hands later, Smith was automatically all in from the big blind with his 60,000 remaining chips. Ian Chan then raised under the gun and Patrick Moulder called in the small blind.
Moulder drew two cards, Smith three, and Chan one. The side pot was checked through, after which Moulder drew one, Smith two, and Chan one.
Two more checks followed, and on the final draw, Moulder stood pat as Smith and Chan each took one.
Moulder then bet into the dry side pot, forcing a fold from Chan. Moulder tabled 6x4x3x2xAx for the second nuts, and chopped the pot with Smith as he also tabled 6x4x3x2xAx for the same hand.
