2-7 Triple Draw

Qinghai Pan from the button and Menikos Panagiotou from the big blind were heads-up with a few bets in the middle already. On the second draw, both players took one. Panagiotou check-called a bet from Pan.

On the final draw, Panagiotou took one and Pan was now pat. Panagiotou then led, which Pan raised, and Panagiotou sigh-called. He got the bad news as Pan tabled 7x6x4x3x2x for number two, and he was able to slow down some of Panagiotou's momentum.

While Sebastian Pauli was being eliminated, Menikos Panagiotou was all in at the other table, at risk against Alex Livingston. Panagiotou won the hand to double.

The next hand was picked up on fifth as Panagiotou bet, getting a called from Jesse Lonis, while Qinghai Pan bowed out on this street.

Menikos Panagiotou: XxXx / J♠2♦2♣6♦ / Xx
Jesse Lonis: XxXx / 2♥8♣6♠9♣ / Xx

Panagiotou led again on sixth, with Lonis sticking around. He bet a final time on seventh, which Lonis called after a small tank.

Panagiotou tabled J♦7♦ in the hole already for jacks-up, which were already good. His final card was the Q♦, improving him to a flush for good measure as he dragged two consecutive large pots to nearly take the lead at his table.
