During NL 2-7 Single Draw, A.J. Kelsall raised to 45,000, Ryan Hoenig reraised to 150,000, and Kelsall thought for a while before he called.

Ryan Hoenig stood pat, and Kelsall drew one card.

Hoenig bet 30,000, and Kelsall asked what he meant by such a small bet. Kelsall tanked for a while before he said, “Good way to bluff me, I guess.”

Kelsall folded, and Hoenig took the pot.

Ryan Hoenig  –  1,060,000  (13 BB)
A.J. Kelsall  –  800,000  (10 BB)

About 10 minutes, after the game switched to Badugi, there was about 320,000 in the pot after the second draw.

Draw #3:  A.J. Kelsall drew one card, and Ryan Hoenig also drew one. Kelsall checked, Hoenig bet 80,000, and Kelsall tanked for a while before he called.

Ryan Hoenig:  5d3cAs  (4s)

Hoenig won the pot with his three-card 5 to increase his lead, and Kelsall mucked.
