2-7 Triple Draw

Josh Arieh raised on the button and Bryce Yockey three-bet out of the small blind. Arieh called.

Yockey was dealt a pat hand and Arieh started with a two-card draw. Yockey bet and Arieh called.

Arieh peeled one on the second draw and thought a bit before calling Yockey's bet.

Arieh still needed one and Yockey moved all in for last 280,000. Arieh hit the jackpot, calling while rolling over {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

Yockey couldn't believe what he saw. "You got the wheel? I got number two," he said, shell-shocked. "Wow."

After several doubles, Yockey's grind came to an end as he was eliminated in 4th place for a $325,989 payday.
