2-7 Triple Draw

Kevin Choi limped in the small blind, Jacob Nepom raised in the big blind off a short stack, and Choi called.

Choi drew three and Nepom two as Choi check-called Nepom's all-in bet for the last of his chips.

On the second draw, both took two, and on the final one Choi drew one and Nepom still needed two.

Jacob Nepom: 7x4x2x All in
Kevin Choi: 7x6x5x3x

Choi went first and found a 2x, making number three. Nepom's first card was a 9x, and he mucked the other as he hit the rail.

Shortly after, Dylan Smith was eliminated in 15th place, as his bid for a second bracelet in four days comes to an end.
