2-7 Triple Draw
James Obst had just won a pot off Rob Hollink to further increase his large stack and Hollink then went up against Dustin Dirksen. He limped for Dirksen to check and the latter discarded four, Hollink drew one. Hollink bet, Dirksen raised and Hollink called.
Hollink patted the second draw for Dirksen to take one, the bet of the Dutchman was then called.
On the final draw, Hollink patted again and Dirksen took one. Hollink bet and Dirksen folded to drop to around a third of the starting stack.
One hand later, both tangled again and took one each on the second draw. Dirksen bet out of the small blind and Dirksen called on the button. They patted the final draw and Dirksen's bet was called. He showed 8x7x4x3x2x for a "ten perfect", also known as number ten. Hollink showed the 8x7x5x3x2x and Dirksen won the pot.
