Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
Action folds to Simon who min raises, which is all in for him... folds to Ross who with already 25k in, and only another 16k to call, asks for a count, so probably not a great hand... but he makes the call...
Ross takes 3 cards and Simon takes 2... no more betting as Simon is already all in
2nd draw and Ross takes 2 and Simon 1...
3rd draw both take 1 on final draw....
Simon has 3468 and another 4 for a pair.... Ross 24579 and takes the pot with a 9 low and we have our first casualty of the Final Table... well played to Simon Lawlor finishing in 7th place....
