Sevens Good for Comeron

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

David "MyLastHand!" Comeron was busy grinding it out a full schedule of live poker this week in Tallinn at the Summer Showdown but this didn't slow him down online as he is also now playing the Battle of Malta Online Main Event.

Comeron just doubled his short stack in a blind vs. blind situation. "Computron" jammed from the small blind for 169,195 and Comeron called off for 134,572.

David "MyLastHand!" Comeron: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Computron: {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

"Computron" was left short on chips as he doubled up Comeron after failing to connect with the {3-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts} runout on the board.

Ferreira Ousts Barer

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Alex Greenblatt min-raised from the hijack before Ami Barer jammed for 241,161 from the cutoff. Joao "Wim Hof" Ferreira cold-called from the button and Greenblatt folded.

Ami Barer: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Joao "Wim Hof" Ferreira: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Barer's sevens proved to be no good against his opponent's cowboys after the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Spades} ran out on the board and he was eliminated about a dozen spots away from the money.
