He was in the 3 seat most of the time I was there but busted before me. Right before the second break I raised UTG with 23679 and he called from the BB and drew 3. I seriously considered standing pat against a 3 card draw but I had a draw to the #2 and if I rapped pat I thought 1) I'd get little value out of the hand, 2) I risked getting outplayed on later streets, and 3) if he did catch up I would be in a bad spot. Breaking the 9 now was better than after the second draw when he raps pat. Plus, I was a huge favorite to at least improve to an 8.
I drew one and bet ahead of course. He called and drew two and I drew one again. He checked and I checked behind - he rapped pat! I laughed out loud when he did - he was going for the check-raise and missed a bet. I drew one and he bet out 400. I caught an 8 and said "I have to call you" and it was good.
One thing about pros in this game is they make thin value bets. He was trying to check raise me with a 9 after the second draw which I find a stretch. But, he's the pro.

I didn't have a spreadheet in front of me, but for the record, I was 59.6% to improve at least to an 8 and I had a 43.6% chance to hit a 7.
