Eric Baldwin moved all in preflop for 170,000 and Thanhdat Tran moved in for his remaining 71,000. Ben Sprengers, who had amassed quite a chip stack, shoved all in as well and everyone folded around.

Ben showed pocket jacks while Tran showed pocket queens. Everyone was quite startled when Baldwin showed {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

.

What was even more startling was the possibilities the flop presented when it fell {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

. The turn brought the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

to give Baldwin trip sevens and both Tran and Sprengers fail to improve on the river.

Tran was eliminated while Sprengers is down to 400,000 after the hand. Baldwin is up to 420,000.
