Epstein Starts With Trips, Ends by Paying Off Strelitz
2-7 Triple Draw
Alex Epstein raised before the draw and Daniel Strelitz re-raised. Andrew Brown called from the blinds, as did Epstein.
Brown and Epstein took two, while Strelitz drew one and bet. Both opponents called and they all drew one on the second draw.
Epstein took the lead this time with a bet and Strelitz raised. Brown got out of the way, but Epstein called and took one more.
Strelitz patted, and Epstein check-called another bet. Strelitz showed 7-6-5-3-2 to win the pot.
After the hand, Epstein claimed he started with three sevens in his hand, while Brown had three deuces. Strelitz had the other ones right from the start.
"Hard to stumble into that hand," Frank Kassela said. "That would be a weird three-bet at this stage of the tournament.
