John Seven Busts Two

Richard Hayes

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Picking the action up on a flop of 3♣7♥2♣ John Eight was all-in for 9,000 and was called by Marco Magisano.

On the 5♥ turn John Seven moved all in and was called by Magisano, with Magisano and John Eight at risk.

John Eight: J♥J♣
Marco Magisano: A♣8♣
John Seven: 7♣7♦

John Seven was in great shape, having flopped a set of sevens, however Magisano still had outs to the nut flush draw and John Eight was seeking an unlikely jack.

The 2♠ turn was a brick securing John Seven the double knockout and a substantial pot.
