Lucky 7s for Beevers

Joe Beevers
Joe Beevers
We caught this hand on the river as Joe Beevers was raking in his chips.

On a board of {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, Beevers showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a set of 7s, which were enough to beat his opponent's pocket queens.

Beevers is up to 26,000.

Eli Elezra Doubles through David Fox

Eli Elezra and Andy Bloch
Eli Elezra and Andy Bloch
The board read {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} when Eli Elezra got all in against David Fox.

Elezra: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Fox: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

When the board failed to pair with the {A-Hearts} on the river, Elezra's straight beat Fox's trips and he doubled up to 85,000 while Fox was left crippled with just 5,800.

Baron Loses Some Chips

We caught this hand on the river when Isaac Baron had checked on a board of {4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Baron's opponent bet 2,400 from the button and Baron took more than a minute before finally making the call. When his opponent showed {Q-?}{5-?}{9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}, Baron mucked.

The hand put a small dent in Baron's stack, but he is still comfortable with nearly 30,000 chips.

Daniel Alaei Comes Up Short

After Daniel Alaei and Isaac Baron both limped in preflop, the player on the button raised to 2,700. Alaei called while Baron folded, and two players saw the flop of {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Alaei moved all in for 6,500 and got the call.

Alaei: {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Button: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

Neither the {J-Diamonds} nor the {10-Spades} completed Alaei's straight and his opponent's trip 6s held up to take the pot.
