Level 7
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With about 7,000 in the pot, on a board reading 
Jeff Cormier checked from the small blind, as did the player in the big blind and the player on the button.
The turn was the 
and Cormier led out for 3,500. The big blind thought for a full minute and eventually called. The player on the button quickly raised to 10,000 and Cormier called but the big blind folded.
The river was the 
and Cormier checked. The button fiddled with his chips and eventually bet 6,500. Cormier seemed torn, but eventually called.
The button tabled 
for two pair sevens and fours. Unfortunately for him, Cormier caught up on the river and tabled 
for two pair kings and fives to scoop up the pot.
