2017 World Series of Poker

Earlier in the summer, Brian Yoon took down the Monster Stack event to claim his third WSOP gold bracelet. His first bracelet came in the inaugural Little One for One Drop in 2013, where he took home over $660,000. Yoon is hoping to add another One Drop title to his résumé, and a recent double-up will certainly help.
Yoon had just over a starting stack when he called an opponent's raise to 1,000. The two players went heads-up to a flop. Yoon's opponent check-called a bet of 1,200, and the
hit the turn. Another check from his opponent saw Yoon fire out 3,000. His opponent called again, and the
completed the board. One more check drew an all-in bet from Yoon, and his opponent snap-called.
Yoon rolled over for trip jacks, and though he tried to muck, his opponent was forced to roll over
. Yoon earned the double-up to 26,000 with that hand, with registration just about to close on the event.
