Vitch Catches the Card He Doesn't Want
Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
2-7 Triple Draw
Alex Simma opened early and Michael Wagner three-bet it. Chris Vitch called and they went three ways to the draw, with Wagner pat and the other two taking two. Wagner kept the lead and got two more calls. This time, Simma needed only one and Vitch two. Wagner bet again, Vitch called, but Simma came in with a raise. Wagner thought a while and folded, and Vitch called.
After taking a final card, Vitch faced a bet and sighed.
"I caught the card you don't want to catch in this spot," he said.
After some thought, he put in a reluctant call but Simma showed 
.
"Caught the ocho?" Simma asked.
"Unfortunately."
