Pot-Limit 5-Card Double Draw
Ryuta Nakai opened to 35,000 under the gun, and action folded round to Brian Brunner in the big blind. He moved all in for 110,000, and Nakai made the call.
On the first draw, Brunner took one and Nakai took three. On the second draw, both players took one.
Brian Brunner: A♠A♦A♥10♠
Ryuta Nakai: Q♦Q♣8♠8♦
Nakai revealed the 2♠ as his final card, meaning Brunner's 9♠ was a mere formality. "You were dealt trips?" asked a tablemate. "Yeah," replied Brunner. "And I needed it."
