E-Dog Takes Bite Out of Glantz

[user196616]

2-7 Triple Draw

Erick Lindgren raised in the cutoff and Matt Glantz re-raised on the button. Lindgren made the call as each player drew one. Lindgren bet and Glantz called.

On the second draw, Lindgren stood pat and bet while Glantz drew one again and called.

Both players then stood pat and Lindgren checked this time. Glantz tossed out a bet and Lindgren came back with a check-raise which was called. Lindgren turned over {7-} {6-} {4-} {3-} {2-} which was good when Glantz mucked. Both players are sitting with stacks below the starting amount though.
