No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Brian Yoon from the cutoff and Albert Daher from the big blind were tangled in a pot after Yoon had taken one card and Daher took three.

Daher checked to Yoon who bet 15,000. Daher then raised to 68,000. After a while, Yoon put in a three-bet to 230,000, representing almost half of his remaining stack. Daher would think it over for almost two minutes before he put one card aside and shuffled his other four.

"Okay, I call 25% of the time," Daher explained as he used his cards as a randomizer. He picked up a card, and immediately mucked the rest as the 75% came in, and Yoon won without showdown.

"Please don't show!" Daher insisted as Yoon returned his cards to the dealer.
