After Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw, the game switched to No-Limit Hold’em, but there wasn’t too much chip movement during that round.

Then Level 23 began with increased limits of 30,000-60,000, and the game switched to Stud. There weren’t any big pots, but Yoon won the first five hands to take a nearly 2-to-1 lead, before folding to the bring-in in the final hand of Stud.

Brian Yoon  –  1,150,000  (19 BB)
Jon Breneman  –  650,000  (11 BB)


The game switched to Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, and in the first or second hand, Breneman raised to 60,000, and Yoon called. The flop came Qh6c5c, Yoon checked, Breneman bet 30,000, and Yoon called. The turn card paired the board with the 5d, and both players checked.

The river card double-paired the board with the Qd, Yoon bet 60,000, and Breneman called. There were no possible lows, and Yoon showed Jd9h9c5h to win the pot with trip fives. Breneman mucked, and Yoon increased his lead.

Brian Yoon  –  1,325,000  (22 BB)
Jon Breneman  –  475,000  (8 BB)
