Level 18
: 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
2-7 Triple Draw
Bryce Yockey saw action folded to him in the small blind and he raised. Phil Hui defended his big blind. On the first draw, Yockey took one and Hui two. Yockey continued and Hui called.
Both players took one on the second draw and Yockey checked. Hui bet and Yockey called. Yockey took one on the final draw again and Hui stood pat behind him.
On the river, Yockey bet out. Hui unenthusiastically called.
Yockey tabled 
. Hui turned over 
for a better eight.
"Who needs a deuce?" Yockey joked as Hui raked in the pot.
