2-7 Triple Draw

Nam Le raised and Ismael Bojang and Nikolai Yakovenko called from the blinds. All players drew two on the first draw.

Yakovenko took the betting lead but Le and Bojang weren't ready to give up.

They called and drew two each while Yakovenko stood pat. He continued betting and Le and Bojang called again.

The last round saw both Bojang and Le draw one. Yakovenko fired once again and Le tanked for over a minute. He eventually released his hand. Bojang threw in calling chips to see Yakovenko's hand. Unfortunately for him, Yakovenko's was stronger.

Yakovenko soared to over 40,000 after winning the juicy pot. Bojang, on the other hand, is now down to about four big bets.
