On a heads-up flop of ![]()
![]()

Tavish Margers: ![]()
![]()
Rip Fitzer: ![]()
![]()
Margers was far out in front with his set of sevens, but Fitzer wasn't dead yet as he could still hit a jack or a ten to win. The runout was not his friend, however, as it came ![]()
to give Magers a full house for the double-up.
Meanwhile, Fitzer was left with only a few big blinds and exited a few hands later after failing to chip up.
