Nakamura Cannot Find a Call
Level 18
2-7 Triple Draw
John Kabbaj opened from under the gun and action folded around to Tamon Nakamura in the small blind, who three-bet. Kabbaj came back over the top and Nakamura called to generate a sizable pot heading to the first draw.
Both players took one card on the first draw after which Nakamura led out. Kabbaj made the call.
Nakamura declined to draw at the second chance while Kabbaj again took one. As on the previous betting round, Nakamura fired off with Kabbaj flatting.
Neither player swapped any cards on the final draw. Nakamura bet once more but seemed dismayed when Kabbaj put in a raise. After thinking for quite some time, Nakamura folded to take a hit to his stack.
