Rutherford Survives a Bubble Scare; Makes the Money

Down to his last 900 chips, Michael Rutherford was forced to commit them all into the pot from the big blind holding a pocket pair of sevens.

Ultimately, seven would turn out to be his lucky number today, as he hit one of them on the flop and a fourth on the turn! Rutherford's quads brought him up to 7,000 chips, which enabled him to survive the small blind and receive the button, where he'd get to see the next seven hands for free (with the exception of the 200 ante).

Michael's good fortune has earned him at least $2,226 and potentially more, depending on how far he can stretch his timely comeback.
