Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Kevin Ellis and an opponent went to the turn on a board of 6♣5♦J♥9♥ and around 25,000 already in the pot. The small blind then bet 12,000, Ellis moved all in from the cutoff, and his opponent called for his last 40,000.
The at-risk player showed A♣A♦, but Ellis had J♣J♦ for a set. The river was the Q♥ and Ellis took the big pot to send his opponent to the rail.

Shouts of "all in and a call" and "seat open" ring through the poker room every few seconds as players aren't hesitant to get their chips in the middle.

Button: J♥7♥
Steve Belland: K♥Q♥
