Action folded to Casey Hatmaker on the button, and he raised to 2,000. Once it folded to the big blind Charles Furey, he three-bet all in for 19,300. Hatmaker confirmed the count and made the call to put Furey at risk.

Charles Furey: 77 All in
Casey Hatmaker: KQ

Furey was ahead with his pocket sevens but would have to race for his tournament life. When the board ran out 6104A3 the pocket sevens of Furey were still best to secure him the double up.
