Lowball Cockroach

[user75032]

Billy Baxter must have done something right this morning. Short-stacked and sitting in the big blind, he called a raise from John Roveto and drew three to Roveto's one. He checked dark and Roveto bet. Again Baxter called and drew three to Roveto's one. He bet all in after the second draw for 1,400.

"How much is it?" Roveto asked. "1,400?"

"You can't raise," Baxter joked.

"If you had more chips I couldn't call," Roveto replied. He did make the call. On the last draw Baxter stood pat while Roveto again drew one.

"I can't believe I made an eight," said Baxter, turning over a rough eight.

"If you made an eight, it's good," replied Roveto. He took one look at Baxter's hand and then quickly mucked.

"That's a bad sign, boys," Baxter warned. We'll see if the lowball specialist can rebuild his stack after that hand.
