Fricke Back Up Top

Jimmy Fricke started the day as our chip leader with 69,000, but then he fell down below 50,000, and now he is up to nearly 90,000 and is our chip leader again (it's almost like 2-7 Triple Draw is a swingy game or something...) In this last hand, Fricke lost a small one to Jeff Lisandro but is near the top of our counts

Fricke raised it up in the small blind, Lisandro re-raised from the big blind and Fricke called. Fricke drew two and Lisandro drew one on the first draw and Fricke checked to Lisandro who bet. Fricke called and both players drew one on the second draw. It went check check and each player drew one again on the third draw. Fricke bet out and Lisandro called him.

Fricke had made a straight with {8-} {7-} {6-} {5-} {4-} and Lisandro's {k-} {8-} {4-} {3-} {2-} was good enough to take down the pot.
