Todd Brunson raised all in for 40,000 from the hijack and was up against Joe McKeehen on the button and Robert Wells in the big blind.
Wells drew one and McKeehen and Brunson two. Wells and McKeehen checked to the second draw, where Wells drew one and McKeehen and Brunson two again. Wells then bet, and McKeehen called.
Brunson stood pat and tightly crossed his fingers pleading for good luck as both Wells and McKeehen took one. Wells bet again, and McKeehen quickly folded.
Wells showed 8x7x6x5x2x, but Brunson had 8x6x5x3x2x to win the pot and triple up.
