Level 21

2-7 Triple Draw

Tomomitsu Ono raised in the hijack and Vieira raised in the cutoff, which led to the betting getting capped between the two players.

Ono drew one and Vieira stayed pat which saw Ono check-call a bet from Vieira.

The exact same drawing and betting happened on the following draw.

After the final draw, Ono looked at his new card and led out, which had Vieira sighing as he looked at his opponent. After a little bit of time he put in the call and Ono said "wheel," before turning over 7♦5♠4♣3♦2♥ for number one and he took a bite out of the chip leader.
