First in from the cutoff seat, Mehdi Senhaji open-shoved for 193,000. He made it through to the big blind, but Scott Shelley squeezed out two sevens and made the covering call to put his man at risk. It was the 
, and it was racing against the 
of Senhaji.
Shelley's horse ran the fastest as the board ran 
to hold his sevens and earn him the knockout. For Senhaji, his shot at becoming the first player from Africa to win a gold bracelet has come up short, but his fine performance has earned him a healthy cash consolation prize.
Look out for Shelley now, he's got nearly half the chips in play! We count him at 870,000, heaps really.
