2-7 Triple Draw

Also: deuce to seven, 2-7 lowball, triple draw

A lowball draw game with three drawing rounds where the best hand is 2-3-4-5-7 (not of one suit). Aces are high, and straights and flushes count against you, which is why the 'wheel' is a bad hand here.

Example. She stood pat with 8-6-4-3-2 after the second draw and won the pot.
