Derousse Saved by the River
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
A player in early position opened the action with a raise to 1,600. He was called by Cornelius Brown in middle position, Joseph Derousse in the cutoff, and both the small blind and big blind.
The flop came 2♣7♠Q♣ and it was checked to Brown who bet out 3,800. Derousse then raised all in for his stack of 8,500, which got the blinds and early position player to fold, and Brown quickly made the call.
Joseph Derousse: Q♠10♣ 
Cornelius Brown: Q♦J♠
Brown had Derousse out piped, but when the board ran out 7♣ on the turn and 7♥ on the river, both players made a full house sevens full of queens, to chop the pot, saving Derousse's tournament life.
