Seven Heaven for Ostash
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mykhailo Ostash opened from the cutoff, and Petre Ionescu in the small blind three-bet to 100,000. Ostash took a moment before moving all in, putting his remaining 590,000 at risk. Ionescu asked for a count, then went deep into the tank, burning through four time bank cards before finally making the call.
Mykhailo Ostash: 7♠7♥
Petre Ionescu: 10♣10♥
Ostash stood up, already ready to leave, but the flop of 8♥7♣Q♦ brought him a miracle set of sevens. The A♠ turn and 6♦ river sealed the deal, giving Ostash a timely double-up and leaving Ionescu with just over four big blinds.
