Level 22 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Bryce Yockey raised the cutoff and John Esposito called from the small blind. Josh Arieh came along from the big and the trio each drew two cards.

Two checks saw Yockey continue and both his opponents called. All three players drew one and it was Esposito who came out with a bet. Both Arieh and Yockey called and drew one apiece while Esposito stood pat.

Esposito checked and that opened the door for Arieh to bet. Yockey got out of the way and Esposito studied Arieh long and hard. At one point it looked as if Esposito was going for calling chips and that got a reaction from Arieh, who looked as if he was going to table his hand.

The motion may have influenced Esposito who ultimately laid down his hand.
