Part of this year’s commitment to spreading the joy of mixed games and non-Hold’em poker variants, the €350 Deuce to 7 Triple Draw Championship gets under way at noon at the Royal Dublin Society.
It is a draw game (five personal cards, with three rounds of changes), aiming to make the lowest possible hand, with 2-3-4-5-7 (no flush) the best hand. The delicious perversity of aiming for the low has gotten a whole new generation of players into this skilful game of positional awareness and well-timed aggression – stay tuned for live coverage starting from 14:00.
