A Deuce to Seven title may not bring the glamour of other major events at the World Series of Poker . Brian Yoon not only craved a lowball title, but dubbed one of these events his own personal main event – the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship.
With three huge bracelet wins under his belt, the 31-year-old hoped to strike gold in something beyond No Limit Hold’em .

In total, his WSOP record now totals $3.4 million in winnings. The latest cash total might pale in comparison to those, but may have been the most fun. “Deuce to Seven Triple Draw is my favorite game to […]
