Sabat Spikes a Lucky Set; Doubles Through Cunningham

A little bit of good fortune to start the day has afforded Eddy Sabat a lot of extra breathing room as we dive into Day 2 action.

Phil Laak opened the pot with a raise to 1,200 from early position and Allen Cunningham made the call. When the action got around to Sabat, he reraised to 7,000 leaving himself less than 2,000 behind. Laak folded and when the action returned to Cunningham, he put Eddy all in. A call was made and the hands turned over:

Sabat: {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}
Cunningham: {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} and Sabat was able to spike a third seven on the flop and dodge a Cunningham backdoor straight draw to win the hand, doubling him through to about 25,000 in chips.
