No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Maksim Pisarenko opened to 27,000 from middle position before Roy Thung three-bet to 75,000 in the cutoff. Bryce Yockey put in a cold four-bet to 200,000 on the button, forcing a quick fold from Pisarenko. Thung flatted to send action heads-up to the draw with a large pot already in the middle.

Neither player chose to take a card after which they both checked to showdown. Thung flipped over 8x7x5x3x2x and Yockey mucked. As he was raking in the chips, Thung apologized to Yockey, who responded that he was only sorry he had not chosen to break his hand.
