The game switched to Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw, and Brian Yoon was down to just 55,000 in chips. Jon Breneman folded the first hand, forfeiting his small blind.

Jon Breneman  –  1,725,000  (22 BB)
Brian Yoon  –  75,000  (1 BB)

The next hand, Yoon raised, Breneman reraised, and Yoon called all in for 75,000.

First Draw:  Breneman drew two, Yoon drew three.

Second Draw:  Breneman drew two, Yoon stood pat.

Third Draw:  Breneman drew one, Yoon stood pat.

Jon Breneman:  8h7d6c4sXx
Brian Yoon:  9d8d7c6s3c

Yoon was in a great position to double up here, as Breneman needed a three or a two to make a better hand.

Breneman’s last card was — the 3s.

Jon Breneman won the pot — and the title and the trophy — with an 8-7 low to eliminate Brian Yoon in second place.

Congratulations to Jon Breneman!
