Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Joshua Butler raised to 600,000 on the button and Chris Kennedy three-bet jammed in the big blind to put Butler at risk who had 1,700,000 behind. Butler thought for a moment and made the call.
Joshua Butler: K♣Q♣ 
Chris Kennedy: 7♦7♣
The flop came 8♦A♥9♥ with Kennedy's pair of sevens still in the lead. Butler pulled ahead on the Q♦ turn and the 9♦ landed on the river to earn him the double up.
